- pg 13y agoA comment only needs a handful of people to endorse it, out of the large number who could, so that doesn't seem a big danger.

- vezzy-fnord 13y agoI'm personally no fan of postmodernism, but I hope that people will settle their ideological differences in endorsing comments.
- thaumaturgy 13y agoYou only need one person that sees some kind of value in your comment to endorse it, even if they disagree with it. There are a lot of users with > 1000 points. edit: not one, a few.
- krapp 13y agoThe only reasonable answer to that is "if they can get away with it."
- patmcguire 13y agoI'm not a fan of the new change, but all the social justice articles get flagged into oblivion before most people have a change to comment on them anyway. That takes a lot less karma to do, 100 if I remember. And you don't know that it's not going to swing the other way, where people would be more likely to speak out because no one's going to endorse the stock replies - i.e., the exhausting nits picked over this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7418937 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7418937 wouldn't all be there.
