Always have. On /. 25 years ago we posted before reading TFA, it's the way.

Welcome to the internet.

I've seen just the opposite. The top comment points out all sorts of problems with the article beyond just the headline.

Take this one on using nitrogen asphyxiation for the death penalty: https://midwest.social/post/7581080

I'm personally against the death penalty, but this article was garbage with garbage arguments. The top comments highlight why. Not only did people read the article, but they were also clear headed enough to point out all its flaws even when they are broadly on the same side as the authors.

Well, I'm not a lemmy user. But I generally read the comments to gauge whether it is worth reading the article.

There weren't enough tik toks in the article

How am I supposed to read this article without Subway Surfer?

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 10 months ago

Am i here for newspapers or for community, hm?

This was much more fun in the days of Fark.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

Fark is a time machine. The jokes haven’t changed in the slightest.

Why would I risk my psyche, phone, and integrity going to a infested wild media web page, it's like you think this is reddit and I'm a curious teen

[–] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

No!! Lemmings don't rush in water they live in holes🐭

No one is here to discuss anything in good faith.
