They should add a thread for unmoderated comments or let us choose to make all replies to our comments unmoderated. Anything goes for replies to the parent. The alternative is to take the discussion to a discord chat. Join this discord thread to talk freely.
- sph 4y agoOnly if usable after some karma threshold. This is still the internet, there is a lot of spam, trolling and malicious people. An unmoderated space doesn't last very long.
- eloisius 4y agoYou can enable the option to view dead comments. I have that set, even though the vast majority of dead comments I see are blatant non sequiturs or spam.
- petodo 4y agothey are still not really readable without custom script, you would need to click each of them one by one, so they are essentially hidden and inaccessible since you have to jump through way too many hoops to see them
- petodo 4y agoOr maybe they could just remove Downvote button for everyone and let users upvote content they like and if it's something really bad (not just different opinion) then there is Flag button and if you flag something there should be displayed "Flagged by XY for reason: XY" you would need to fill and which could be seen right under flagged comment. But I knwo this is never going to happen because it's too transparent and welcoming diverse opinions and you could suddenly see all those anonymous internet heroes.
- petodo 4y agoThanks to anonymous internet heroes for proving my point.
