How to reduce excessive linespam when replying to comments directly?

#### Description

Using a browser, when replying specifically/directly to a comment, replies by another user (not the user who made the initial comment) include a quotation of the first user's comment and replies. This is unnecessarily excessive and results in a lot of linespam. Please see the included image. Something similar to how Slack handles replies should be used instead.


# Proposed Fix/Change

 --Username1-- First Comment
> --Username1-- Second Comment
> --Username2-- First Comment

The above example is completely readable and follows on the discussion. Alternatively, after 3+ replies (would be nice if the admin could choose) only the last 3 replies are shown to avoid again, more linespam.

Could it also be possible to include the comment on the same line as the username? Does it have to be on its own new line? As I said, this results in a lot of wasted/empty space in the UI.
