To be fair having replies in order of time sucks.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It would be best to let the users to choose their own preference.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You literally can. It's a setting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does it save the setting?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yes. And furthermore, if you've changed the setting in the past, this new default sort change doesn't override it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

You can though I like it.

I prefer how X orders them based on how much money you give to Elon Musk

Weird you're being voted down.

Who wants the terminally online to be the first five replies to every post? It should sort by op like/boost by default at least

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Me. I do. It’s better than the hive mind upvoting some stupid meme reply or some bullshit/misinformation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So you only see misinformation if professional disinformation employees are paid to reply instantly, which, they are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I’m not seeing too many professional disinformation employees in here but sure that’s a thing.

Why do you think that sucks? Chronological order makes everything easier to use and navigate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It biases the first repliers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Depends on whether it's first-on-top or last-on-top...hot/popular biases engagement in obscure ways we can't see through, which often (always?) ends up favouring trolls and rage-bait.
