This is semantics. If I present something and the response is "meh" then that is important information to me. Let people express themselves without policing it

Attitudes like yours create echo chambers of sycophants. I personally hate an environment where the only feedback allowed is positive-to-neutral. Negative things, like dismissal that you seem to hate so much for some reason, are feedback too.

- dagmx 3y agoYou’re missing the point. Nobody is saying don’t critique it. Critique is constructive. Meh is dismissive Be as brutally critical as needed but criticism should be something of value. “Meh” is the equivalent to “neat”. It adds nothing, but unlike neat, it takes away pride. Also if we’re taking the meta discussion, then you’re doing the same thing you’re saying not to do. People are just giving feedback , but unlike the original comment it’s constructive feedback.
- xwdv 3y agoI don’t get it. “Nice job”, “Meh”, and “This sucks.” are all dismissals, but they are also feedback, which is just as important as long form critique. And I didn’t merely say “Meh”, I followed up with some more text and added a new dimension to the discussion.
