Fuck, Kinja come on! Why fuck up the comments area like this? Separate Staff from everyone? Fuck you. Just let me read comments in the order they were created. Thank you

And also NO! I don’t want to “Join the Discussion” you ass

I may not actually be this pissed off at Kinja, but the added BS like the new comment area, infinite scroll, THE LOAD MORE COMMENTS!, and the everyday bs in my sanctuary away from the shit that is my work life really fucking sucks.

I would be fine with it. But...

They left the fucking normal reply button still because they knew the box would inevitably break. And also, LOAD MORE COMMENTS NEEDS TO DIE.

I think it’s the same as the older “View CaptDale’s discussion.” It allows you to read only the conversations in which the author is participating. So you, as the author, are considered “staff.” IFor all the work they’ve done with Kinja since it rolled out years ago, the commenting system continues to be a hot mess.

Sooner or later, we won’t have the option to join any discussison.

I think they should create “Funny” and “Insightful” categories and then let users flag comments as such so I can get right to the good comments.

Yes this! Except we would probably be the only people not to abuse it

I wish that would go away so badly

I think you’re right. The functionality remains mostly the same.

But I hate the two-step process for showing pending comments. You click “pending”, and then you still have to click the “show pending” button.

I just want a way to know how many replies a comment has like in the old days.... now if I make an epic joke, thinking I am the first to reply, it turns out thirteen others have made that joke and then I want to die.

OR IT WOULD SHOW MORE THAN ONE COMMENT ON THE FRONT PAGE. Sorry. I hate it with a passion.

That dates back to the gore porn bombing campaign from a couple of years ago. It probably won’t go away.

I don’t hate the pending system, but one click of a button labelled “pending” should be all that is needed to reveal grey comments.

Speaking of buttons that actually do what they say , I see that they renamed the “all replies” button to “community” now. I was hoping that they would change it so that “all replies” would actually load ALL comments (instead of just 5 threads at a time). But sadly, it looks like they abandoned that idea.

Staff and community is literally no different from “Author’s discussion” and “All replies”. We’ve only changed the wording.

Hmmm... I guess this was just sounds weird but yes I figured that out now. This does look better, but IDK
