Try browsing with showdead. I regularly see comments which are just stupid. They're so bad they don't really deserve a discussion/answer since that would introduce lots of noise. But they're not abusive as such so can't be flagged. Downvotes do their job well a lot of the time.
- ossobuco 2y ago> Try browsing with showdead. I regularly see comments which are just stupid I do, and yes, downvotes filter out noise but in the process also filter out unconforming opinions. Whether you prefer a "clean" but sterile environment over a noisier but more interesting one is a matter of taste, and I feel other users shouldn't be able to impose their taste on me. Being able to block users would be much more effective in terms of filtering noise and excluding censorship abuses.
