Yes it's nasty and yes I don't like it. But it's nothing new, same happens on blogs, comments, tweets, defamation on news articles... Oh you say this is different? What do you prefer - bad comment about you and pig on that app, or picture of you and pig on twitter? (Or just a pic of you in pycon...) If you want to censor this app then you will have to censor whole net. And people that would abuse it are not people you are thinking about.
- rakoo 11y agoCriticism is positive if it's argumented and there's an actual reflexion; you can potentially improve something based on the criticism, so you should always have an eye on it. Anything else is just garbage and shouldn't be taken as worthy. Basically, anything that is above level 4 of this (http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html) is worth listening for.
- throwawaygeu 11y agoRelativity. From side criticism can be seen as positive, but person recieving criticism always will see it as "I found you errors/faults!". And it is person recieving criticism that decides if it is constructive or not. And some people claim that all criticism is "harrasement". (Eg dear Anita when proof of her manipulations are shown)
