Unfortunately, there's no way to turn off comments on a Gist, which makes it not a viable replacement for anyone who doesn't want to spend a lot of time processing and moderating comments.

Good point. However, you need a GitHub account to post comments so everyone knows who you are. Your reputation might suffer if you constantly post comments that require moderation.
This does not, in practice, stop people. Both because it's possible to make throw-away accounts, and because some people don't have a reputation to care about to begin with.
