Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

My point is that while there are a lot of comments in this thread, the sample size of users posting in this thread is still very small. We can't necessarily draw conclusions about the site's general attitude on a topic based on the temperature of a thread with so few users posting in it. And my personal belief is that more people here liked him than didn't, which I have no evidence for and don't think this thread's direction is strong evidence against.

People who like him make posts. People who don't make comments on those posts. It's pretty simple.

Okay, but this is the bit of your comment I was responding to.

It's just that people who dislike him are going to be more motivated to post about him at this point.

People who dislike him aren't motivated to post about him. People who like him are, which then motivates people who dislike him to respond. I don't see people posting negatively about him out of the blue, but I do see people posting positively about him out of the blue - and this thread is an example of that.
