I like fading garbage comments, it is a quick visual indicator there's probably nothing of value in that comment. Rarely good comments are greyed, and in those cases I upvote to try to counter-act it. Doesn't seem like a problem to me.
- Jerrrry 4y agothats the problem, its too quick, too dismissable, to easy to not engage in any useful discussion, proliferating echo chambers even quicker. useful discussion is the opposite of an echo-chamber circle jerk. lowering the barrier to dismissing valid criticism does not fit the bill, it does the opposite.
- coldpie 4y agoI don't really see this happening that often. Greyed out comments are almost always trash in my experience.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoAlmost every greyed out comment I've ever seen is garbage. It's either rude or offensive, an obvious bad faith take on its parent comment, or is just plain spam. It is incredibly rare to see a greyed out comment and think "wow that guy got downvoted just because people disagreed with them", unlike reddit.
