Coral Talk is a Vox Media endeavor.
That certainly puts a very different angle on how this will be used, and what use cases it's targeted towards. From prior experience, Vox outlets are extremely stringent about what they permit in their comments: specifically, only people who agree or can extend the arguments of a given article further are preserved; or quibbles about minor details. No true discussion is allowed outside the article's bubble.
It took a few clicks to find the license so here it is: Apache v2. Not bad, I've been looking at open source social network software recently and unfortunately all the widely used ones are AGPL3. I get the benefits but I could find anything reasonably of remotely similar quality that was even GPL3.

Source? Those are pretty serious accusations.
The upside is there, if you know up-front its the basis of the engagement. If its applied retrospectively it sucks, for a number of people.

Vox itself removed comments after a time, probably because this bubble could not reasonably be preserved in response to the majority of their articles.
The Verge is somewhat more open, depending on the topic and whether it is technical or political in nature.
Polygon's Ben Kuchera is a caustically aggressive moderator, and is the primary one I saw behaving in this manner, in addition to antagonizing commenters who disagreed with an article's premise; doubly so if he himself wrote the article.
The bullet list seems to describe Twitter. I've wondered why most publishers of comments don't just give up and say "comment on Twitter." Not that I would like that, but still ...

Do you have particular uses for open source social network software for which the AGPL would be a problem for your usage?

It would be interesting to have a commenting system powered by Twitter where each article/post has a Twitter post with the article name and link so others not finding this post through your website can still comment, and the replies to this Twitter post can be pulled into you article/post and listed as comments.
