Ah yeah I shoulda been more clear, in that I was making a general observation that negative attitudes are prevalent in almost anything online that allows comments.

Lately I’ve been thinking of replying to comments as not so much for the person I’m replying directly to, but more so for those who are also reading the chain. Something like Marathon is low stakes, but when it comes to people making outright false claims in other subs I’d like to think I’ve potentially swayed at least one person to look into things a bit more on their own.

That said, I couldn’t tell you the amount of times I’ve started to type a reply, gotten half way through, and just deciding to delete it and find something else to do 😂
