Seems like just as much of a waste of time as it was before.
People made those comments on a public page. I don’t see why you are censoring the user names.
The usernames are not pertinent to the sentiment. However, they could cause a hassle. So blanking makes sense.
If there were dangerous or responses that merit a response, ok, but for trying to make a point of “comments are full of vacuous crap”, it doesn’t matter even in theory.
Maybe if the post were making a point that people didn’t agree with, it warrants some clues like a citation to back up the claims, but this is just a circle jerk sort of post, so no one’s about to say “no, Reddit only has deep and meaningful commentary, you need to prove that comments like this exist”.
OP found this screenshot from a Redditor. I couldn’t find the exact source. For all I know, the guy on Reddit wrote this stuff himself.

I could probably find something similar on Lemmy. The fixation on Reddit is annoying when people could just use Lemmy and forget about Reddit.
I think the fewer number of people, compared to reddit, on Lemmy combined with the fact that it’s not nearly as well known, plays a huge advantage to the quality of the comments. Not that there aren’t people like that here either, but I feel like the more popular a platform, is, the more it gets filled, proportionally, with people trying to make witty, shitty, pointless remarks that are often clickkbaity and avoid actual discussion, all in the interest of just getting more imaginary points.
Also the process of “enshitification” (not a term I made up, look it up if you hadn’t heard of it) has already started taking place on reddit due to its popularity.
Reddits is end stage enshitification
And now they’re going to train AI on that dataset. The intellectual equivalent of a diet consisting of nothing but chicken nuggets.
I feel like you’re gonna be able to tell if an AI was overly trained on reddit data.
Hey Chat XYZ– write me a prompt for my essay about George Washington

Came here to say this.

I started using reddit in 2011. Trust me when I say this isn’t a new trend. Reddit’s has been noticeably and actively getting shittier since at least 2015 as it continued to get more and more popular
This. So. Much. This.
Reddit is the new facebook imho, even people who I somewhat agree with frame their comments in such a way that I wanna punch them in the face, and a source for whatever they say? Lol trust me bro! I have seen that here even if someone says something that I don’t agree with, they at-least provide something that shows how they arrived at some point/conclusion, which opens a door for healthy discussions, I don’t think we as a community are much better, there are different flaws, but the environment is certainly different and better
I wasn’t, but thanks for the reinforcement all the same.
I’d give you a Gold but, uh… Anyway
Only the best, the finest human-generated datasets. For the discerning AI trainer.

Play Reddit games, win Reddit prizes.
AITA was really never the sub you went to for carefully considered prose. Just a bunch of edgy teenagers trying to justify being shitheads.
At least there is something to read, unlike on lemmy, where the most liked posts are bitching about reddit.
Jesus
Is there such a thing as a 13 yo AI who fucked your mother? Because this reads like a gang of them.
Those have to all be bots, right?
