Sorry, man. This is a pet peeve of mine, as you can see from my comment history. And I'm not the only one, those comments often get quite a few upvotes. I can see how it must be frustrating to launch something only to have a comment like this, but it is my honest not-trying-to-be-mean reaction to a site that breaks the back button, I feel very frustrated and it's off-putting. The website is a cool idea as I said, so to be clear, I do not think that they shouldn't have bothered.
I believe you, and didn't think that you meant to communicate that. The trouble is that individual signals that aren't objectionable compound into global problems at scale. It's a community problem more than an individual one, which is why it's so hard to correct.
One thing we've learned is that you can't judge this phenomenon accurately by upvotes. Indignation of any kind reliably gets more upvotes than anything else, by a large margin.
