    Agreed, and the fact that the hateful parent comment is still sitting at the top of the thread also makes me concerned for kbin’s ranking algorithm.

    At the moment it has 28 “upvotes” and 51 “downvotes,” which on reddit would have it buried and hidden at the bottom. Here it’s remained the top comment since the article was posted.

    Possibly because it has three “boosts”? I don’t understand the difference between boosts and votes. But this site is going to have to do something about it, because normal people are going to run from this place if this kind of sociopathic content is elevated here.

      you mean the same ‘normal people’ who ruined reddit by turning into a place where no dissent and disagreement is tolerated and just want to look at pictures of cute cats to ‘cultivate positivity’?

      not everyone wants to live in ‘curated’ world. some normal people like a variety of opinions and perspectives, and don’t see the work through the lens of kindergarten classroom rules.

      Agreed. I was really enjoying the lack of reddit-style constant negativity permeating the tops of threads for a while, but seems like every day it’s been getting worse.

        what you regard as negativity is not what others regard as negativity.

        your mentality is the crappy reddit one, no dissent, no differences, just only ‘positive vibes’ and pulling the wool over your eyes.
