We’ve done it, we got rid of another soulless right wing politician!

Peter Dutton first made his party lose this election and now also lost his own seat much like Pierre Pullover

We’ve still got a government that green-lit new coal power plants in it’s last term, screwed over the Aboriginal community with a poorly run referendum, and still doesn’t give a shit about climate change, but baby steps hey.

    It’s a pretty fundamental aspect of content aggregators. If posters editorialise the articles they post it becomes an echochamber for a very confined range of opinions.

      Didn’t say moderation isn’t necessary, it is. What I said is it’s sad the top comment chain is about moderation.

      I opened this post to read comments out of curiosity, I still don’t even know the context of this article because the top comment is about the title which I find sad.

        If only there was some way to determine which content was shown on your device.

        Like when there’s too much content to show at once, maybe it could be organised in a tall “page” and you could jump around to read different comments.

        Although it would be tall enough it’s more like a scroll I guess. You could “zoom” up or down the scroll and read those comments you found interesting or engaging.

        Actually, maybe you could get users to promote those comments they found most interesting and demote others.

        It’s a shame nothing like this exists.

          Not really sure how to filter posts whose top comment is regarding moderation, pretty damn specific filter. Then again your comment is a large giant nothing burger that continues to ignore the point I’m attempting to emphasize so I don’t think you really thought it through in the first place.

            I’ll spell it out for you mate.

            Scroll past the comments that don’t interest you. That’s it. You don’t need to reply to every comment that you don’t find engaging.

      Counterpoint. I posted an article from the Australian national broadcaster. They have their flaws but they aint breitbart.

      While I sensationalised the title and added my 2 cents in the original OP I cross posted to this community, I linked to a nice source and created a more world context friendly title, yet far from disingenuous click bait.

      The upvotes and the comments are largely based on that.

      What this rule is currently accomplishing:

      • people will just post sensationalist sources with clickbaity titles and questionable journalism
      • or people will create sensationalist titles for neutral higher quality sources and then the top comment is always going to be about this level of virtue signalling.

      What’s the point of a community if these are the rules? You’re asking for bad sources and at best or you’re just a comment section provider for legacy media.

        Why has everyone started saying “counterpoint” all of a sudden. Every comment is a counterpoint.

        Counterpoint. Hopefully people aren’t idiots that upvote sensational headlines.

        Counterpoint. Everything I already said.

        Counterpoint. You could make your own community where people sensationalise headlines.
