I’m not inside your head so I don’t know if you would agree, but I would love to see this say content that is deemed undesirable as opposed to just straight “undesirable.”
My problem with gray text is a bit different: Since the dumbness of crowds can happen even on HN, I’d like to be able read comments myself and decide for myself what to think about them.
With some topics the hater community is very strong, and comments get so light so fast they cannot even be read without some disruptive workflow, and they aren’t always useless comments.
- CamperBob2 3y agoYeah, we're basically in agreement there. In most cases, I'd say those comment threads that end up almost entirely grayed out were never good candidates for HN stories in the first place.
- natch 3y agoTrue, and maybe I went a little far. The ones that quickly get unreadable are invariably pretty dismal. Sometimes it’s just morbid curiosity about what they said.
