People made those comments on a public page. I don't see why you are censoring the user names.
It's not a new thing to censor people's usernames on posts. It's respectful and not doing so could possibly lead to people being harassed in DMs.
Yeah, but nothing's ever stopped me from googling the comment and finding the original.
Of course. But the effort that involves is enough to deter some people.
You'll take that effort for what? Just to troll someone you know just via a few comments?
Copy/pasting into Google isn't really what I'd call an effort. And I was doing to because I don't like getting rage baited. Confirming sources is a good habbit.
The usernames are not pertinent to the sentiment. However, they could cause a hassle. So blanking makes sense.
If there were dangerous or responses that merit a response, ok, but for trying to make a point of "comments are full of vacuous crap", it doesn't matter even in theory.
Maybe if the post were making a point that people didn't agree with, it warrants some clues like a citation to back up the claims, but this is just a circle jerk sort of post, so no one's about to say "no, Reddit only has deep and meaningful commentary, you need to prove that comments like this exist".
OP found this screenshot from a Redditor. I couldn't find the exact source. For all I know, the guy on Reddit wrote this stuff himself.
