It is funny, because I agree with your statement. But I never thought of Reddit as made for discussion. Maybe I miss out, but I always have a terrible time following the comments on Reddit (granted I don't even try on Digg and comparing Reddit to HN might be apples to oranges). The comments are usually confusing and non-beneficial to me.
- dpritchett 16y agoI get great mileage out of this "hide replies to comments" bookmarklet - it allows me to quickly read the best-rated comments that reply directly to the article. If a comment is thought-provoking I'll click through to see what discussion it's spawned. http://gist.github.com/582630 http://gist.github.com/582630
- there 16y agoi know from reading reddit often that there are frequently highly-rated comments as replies that are several levels deep, and possibly have nothing to do with the original top-level reply. i recommend sorting comments by "best", and then just cranking up your minimum score rating in your preferences so that comments under, say, 10 will not get shown.
- pstuart 16y agoFunnier still, I see it the opposite way: reddit discussions are, more often than not, more valuable than the articles themselves (although the s/n ratio is diminishing). Same is true for HN, but the s/n ratio remains quite high.
