It's "slashdot talks about the iPod announcement" all over again.
Unfortunately, communities tend to devolve other time into empty cynicism and negativity, and it's hard to stop, since obviously you don't want to ban 100% of cynical or negative comments.

- brulard 1y agoHow would we find out the real sentiment if negative comments were all filtered out?
- rkomorn 1y agoI guess it depends on how you define negative. "I don't think this is something I would use." or "I think the price point is too high for what you get." aren't particularly negative to me. "Nobody should buy this, it's dumb." or "Who even needs something like this, just learn to sharpen knives!" are.
