I Hope Rexxitors Tone Down the Low-Hanging Comment Chains on Lemmy. (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I loved Reddit for what it is, but nothing made me back out of a post faster than seeing the top 3 parent threads as a regurgitation of the same inside jokes, pun-chains, and so on.

For me, that was part of the charm.

I could still find the information I needed when it was a serious query, and I could still find sound and sensitive viewpoints on many topics. But, opening a horrible post just to see a horribly distasteful comment as the first response just kept reminding me not to take life so seriously.

Yeah, and you can just fold the first comment in the chain and the whole chain disappears as well, so it's not like it's that much in the way either.
