Man, I swear to god, the comment section under an article always seems to drive just the shittiest, lowest quality, most "microwaved thinking" takes on any given subject, regardless of the side they take in the discussion
Reading just a few of those comments makes me frankly sad.
Phoronix has notoriously dumb commenters. I don't know why exactly but it's really notable.
Hackaday too. Again, not sure why. They're both significantly worse than Reddit, HN, Ars or here. Maybe even worse than YouTube comments...
Phoronix is a drama mongering site so of course the comments will be dumb, just like the articles.
Hackaday's comments are bad mostly when the article is about Linux. Electronics stuff gets better comments.
More specifically it is full of older people who refuse to change. They learned electronics in the 20th century and don't want to see anything newer than 2005.
Eh works for me, I value different opinions
Pro-tip: Avoid reading comment sections in general.
Yet here we are.
You folks are cool though
Nuh-uh poopyhead!
I stand corrected!
@Cris_Color
I like Phoronix because it soaks up all the faux-techno nutters and I can get on with my life
@Sunshine
If you don't mind my asking, is your instance a piefed or Mastodon instance? Or something else?
I only occasionally see people using @, and it's always cool seeing people interacting across different server software 😊
@Cris_Color It is a Mastodon instance.
Neat! I'm glad your voice can be part of the conversation started on lemmy from a totally different platform, I may never get over how cool that is lol
Hope you have a lovely day 😊
