I'm glad there's fewer 'comedians' here (lemmy.world)

I was Reddit earlier and viewing one of question subs. The top 5 comments were all 'jokes'.

What's worse is no matter how unfunny the top jokes are you'll get hundreds of cold comments flogging the joke to death.

The 6th top comment actually answered the question.

Lemmy may not have as much content but what is here is so much better quality.

It would be nice to be able to mark a comment as silly while writing it, just like low priority emails. OP could skip notifications for those and they could be sorted to the end.

Tildes has this feature, and I love it. There are a bunch of tags that can be applied to comments, both of the "this is a brilliant contribution" and "this is noise/low effort/silly" varieties.

In general, Tildes culture is high effort, but there's still room for fun. It's nice to see each platform innovating.

Yes, this would be an excellent feature. Only problem is people exploiting it to hide or ridicule legitimate responses they don't agree with. But that's a problem for later. With the cussing userbase and growth rate this feature works be great for quite a while.

I believe the implication is you self flag these while writing them, so people can filter them out if they dont want the clutter

sage Sage SAGE When you have nothing of value to add, rage out with your sage out.

Time to appropriate a feature from *chan sites
