do you read comments before you respond to a post? (lemmy.ml)

just had a thought about some of my habits on lemmy and other social media. i tend to read a post or the article attached, comment, and then read the other responses.

not sure if it even matters or introduces any biases before reading something but i think it'd be interesting to note how other lemmings loiter on the internet!

I always read all of the comments first. I very rarely comment myself, because very often, what I have to say has already been said. The power of the collective!
