It'd also be neat to populate it randomly with other "users'" comments for further trickery.

Part of the ethical construct of the current form is that there is no trickery. The user sees the real, unadulterated data.

That is true. It would also betray the name echochamber. :)

This is fantastic, I have been pondering about the usefulness of comments in the age of twitter/facebook/social media in general for a while. Not being exposed to the ramblings of random individuals would be a blessing.

Hacker News needs to implement this in the comments for selected users.

They do already.

Some users' comments aren't visible to the public unless you have the "showdead" setting in your HN user preferences enabled.
