How Facebook Ruined Comments (at Least For One Writer)

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-always-winter-and-never-christmas dept.

harrymcc writes "Back in late March, Facebook finally introduced a feature which lets you reply to a specific comment on an update. But at the same time, it started reshuffling the order of comments in an attempt to put the best ones at the top. The change only applies to Pages and to the Profiles of people with more than 10,000 followers, but it's driving me crazy. Over at TIME.com, I explain why."

    True dat. All of the cares in my life have been overwhelmed by explosions that don't affect me, and have already been over-reported, and a case about kidnapped girls that are white enough that you know you will be hearing about them for the next year.

    So there is absolutely no room whatsoever in my tiny heart, or my pea brain, not to mention my millisecond attention span, to possibly read anything else, ever. Get back to me next year... unless someone blows something up again or kidnaps some girls.

    Do you want us to police the world or not?

    Not. Please.

    Seriously, do you and other people in the US really think they're the world's police, the last bastion for freedom, etc? Is this a common mentality?
