With slashdot I wouldn't RTFA (hadn't used that term for ages) until after reading some or most of the comments to give me an idea of whether or not it was going to be worth it.

And often any comment I made was in relation to the ongoing discussion and not necessarily the article itself.

I still do that here and elsewhere too.

I’m really trying to pull back from that habit because I simply can’t tell what is legit discourse anymore

In my golden era of message boards the worst you had to deal with were trolls or bad actors but today you simply don’t know who is an LLM bot

What’s the point in reading or replying to machines. It’s like a sand trap just wasting your time in the worst possible way
