Reddit comments enable users to express comments on posts in a discussion mode. Many comments are able to be shown in a threaded format on each post. To agree or disagree with a comment, users can up vote or down vote the comment and this allows the most relevant comments to be at the top.
To respond to any comment, a user can choose the reply button as a reply. The response is inserted below the initial comment and helps to make conversation systematic. Because there are nested responses, five and six users easily interact without confused and mixed replies as the conversation remains straightforward and easily manageable.
The user is able to edit or delete comments. Editing is used to make corrections or to provide some information and deleting involves removing the entire comment. Users also have the option to report the comments that did not comply with Reddit rules. These characteristics do not result in losing sense of clarity.
The participation process through the use of comments provokes discussions and sharing of information. The user is able to feature questions or argue or seek clarity in such responses. Embedded commenting builds dynamic continuities of communication that give discourse a way out to evolve innately and lead to active engagement.
Users are notified when a person answers their content hence the continuity of conversations is easy. Users can refer to people with u/ username so that attention is attracted to particular replies. This ensures that conversations are organized and interactive and also to ensure that there is prompt reply.
Conclusion
The comments and replies on Reddit are structured forms of communication under posts. Replies made in sequence are also readable and removing, editing, and notification can provide discussion lead time and make them interactive. With knowledge of the functionality of the comments, one can be engaged meaningfully in Reddit communities.
