Block sub is unnecessary.

If you are subscribed to all subs, then you can just unsubscribe from BlackMetal and use "All" instead of "Home" and still catch everything but what you unsubscribe from.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

no, i just checked. i am not subscribed to blackmetal and it shows up in all. i guess all really means all.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Then I guess I mean use "Home" instead of "All".

...use subscribed rather than home/all.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Is there a difference between home/all?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Not really, not a practical difference. Home has /s/ads filtered out. We have considered simplifying and making /s/all or /s/subscribed the home page. I personally like the idea of making the home page just include 50 subs or so, like the "best of Said it", our public face that just shows off our anti-corruption bent.

I knew it was something.

Hate the idea of "the best of SaidIt". It's very subjective and isolating to some.

I'll reconsider when it becomes a problems and we're overrun with stuff like MartinTimothy and BlackMetal, and at that point I think a vote to exclude might be in order instead of a top-50 list.

If you do a top-50 list I'll just post everything in "news" to simultaneously give up and protest, whether it belongs in news or not.

If we want to embrace an anti-corruption identity we should discuss it, and I can make some imagery for SaidIt, and maybe you can persuade me on your selections.

While voting is easy on a voting/ranking forum, I'm not sure how much the voting app is actually used so much as the voices chiming in. Burning Man used to be run as an LLC owned by 6 people who all had veto power so it was entirely run by consensus. It wasn't easy but it was always by consensus. A 7th person would have made it a magnitude more complex. I don't expect SaidIt could ever be consensus built but it's nice to dream.

Yeah you're probably right about the best of SaidIt thing. It would discourage people from starting new subs too. And I don't think magnora7 wants to pitch the whole site as anti-corruption/conspiracy either.

I agree with you about consensus. It'd be great if every major decision was made that way, and even more minor stuff like "what to work on next". I think we're at a point where that can be done more and work as there's enough people here.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's a good one. Post "SaidIt Survey : What to work on next" because you thought of it.

May I offer you an addition to that? Ask for 3 things, small, medium, and large scale.

Hopefully folks will offer more small things than large to accomplish, and with these 3 levels we can try to accomplish things within the realm of our availability. And by our, I mean your. I'll do what I can but I'm limited.

no, still not good. checked again and i am not subbed to s/socialism, but your robin hood tax post shows up in both places! edit: by home you mean saidit.net/ right?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I don't know.

I'm going off what I thought I learned from /u/magnora7 and /u/d3rr about the difference between "home" and "all" - but I never verified it. I suppose I should have checked or tested before commenting and opening my big mouth.

If you're unsubbed from /s/socialism and it still shows up you have two problems:

  1. The unsubscribe thingy is broken.

  2. You're unsubbed from socialism so you're A) missing out on some great news and insights, and/or B) an alt-right Libertard-Republican Nazi shill. ;)

[–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

no, i am unsubbed, but i can still see everything :-) i am not missing out on anything! thats why i am not subbed i guess, whats the point.

[–]JasonCarswell 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Just teasing. I don't care if you're a libtard a repubtard a progtard a demtard or an anarchotard.

[–]magnora7[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It doesn't show up in the SUBSCRIBED button. I wish you would internalize the explanations a little better and type less.

The ALL and HOME buttons are the same, except HOME is missing a few subs that no one wants to see, like /s/ads.
