Every now and then I open the active[1] section looking for interesting discussions, run a scriptlet to remove greyed-out comments[2], and add to a TTS software on my phone to listen to.

Why delete the grayed out comments? Not trolling, am curious.

I feel like by skipping those you're just bowing to the will of the hive mind without knowing what the alternatives could be.


I'm aware that I do lose some gems and though provoking discussions, but IMHO the majority is uninformed/offtopic/poor-quality.
