      Idk its easy to glance over and its not like we karma farm on lemmy. So why not let it be, some people have issues responding to people even online. There are a lot of lurkers on here and the community should allow low effort posts if they are not causing any issues because no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.

        that’s exactly what the comment i’m responding to is doing. it contributes nothing and serves only to inflate the poster’s ego and piggyback on upvotes on the comment it’s responding to. admittedly that works a lot less well when it’s not on a platform that artificially inflates votes on frontpage content.

        no one knows if its just someone trying to try out online communication for the first time.

        if they’re new to it, all the better they be pushed into good habits out of the gate and not be rewarded for shoveling slop onto everyone’s plates

        “underrated comment” “came here to post this” “so much this” i swear to fuck if we let this community turn into reddit 2.0 with trite nonsense indistinguishable from bot posts spammed all over every comment section then i will never forgive you motherfuckers who let it happen by trying so hard to be nice.

          This is not the way to go about it, you’re just coming off as a jackass writing an essay on why he’s right

            you’re right, let’s just coddle everyone who shits up our app experience, that’s a much more efficient way to race to the bottom.

            i don’t give a shit that you don’t like what i’m saying or how i’m saying it. you can’t encourage this behavior and then act shocked when it spreads all over your platform and ruins the experience for anyone trying to actually participate beyond memes and platitudes. a little unpleasantness can go a long way when it comes to discouraging antisocial behavior that someone is plainly predisposed toward.

              And I don’t give a shit if you care what I’m saying or not either, but I am saying that with that kind of attitude, no one is going to take you seriously because “why would I listen to that douche bag”

              You’re just wasting your energy in more ways than one

                you’d do well to study up on operant conditioning because this is actually a pretty well understood field of social science. i made a comment for the little turd shitting up my website and he’ll see it sooner or later. if we’re fortunate, it’ll encourage better behavior in the future. whether you like it or not means fuck all to anyone. keep flapping those gums tho.
