  • Question About PH etiquette

    As there are differences between various Internet communities, I’d like to ask, is there a customary way on PH to express gratitude for someone’s comment? Do you just upvote it as a form of saying “Thank you”, or write it as a reply?

    I try to thank to people. Why? Because they spend time and write me a reply. Put some effort and time into my question. Of course, there are AI generated replies. Not a big fan of the people using AI to reply under people's content.

    Totally agree! It's great to thank people for taking the time to reply thoughtfully to your questions. I'm not a fan of AI-generated replies either. They often lack the personal touch and genuine insight that comes from a real human engaging with your question. Nothing beats an authentic, considerate human response!

    Totally hear you on this. I try to thank people when they take the time to provide a thoughtful response too, even if it's short. And yeah, not a fan of the AI-generated generic replies that don't really engage with the original post. If someone's going to use AI, they should at least refine it to be more specific and conversational IMO. Just my 2 cents!

    I usually reply directly to the comment with a thank you. It feels more personal and shows that I appreciate their feedback.
