- harryf 11y agoThey could also add a [srsly!?!] tag for when all comments must express outrage
- MasterScrat 11y agoActually it would make more sense to have tags and filters, so you could prioritize the type of comments you want to see. I'm too young to have known it but I think slashdot had a system like that?
- marcosdumay 11y agoIt still has. It's only missing the comments for one to filter nowadays.
- emodendroket 11y agoWelcome to whom? I'd rather have the wisecracks.
- bonobo 11y agoWelcome to the people who want to participate in serious discussions. You still have threads, and whole subreddits for that matter, with jokes. But before this tag, people who wanted a joke-free discussion were unable to do so on Reddit, and had to dig through piles of puns and jokes to get some thoughtful comments. Now we have space for both groups.
- emodendroket 11y agoYeah, but I feel that the combination of jokes and serious discussion is better than either one alone.
