That was the least exciting celeb meet ever documented.

I disagree. The rich have obviously done well for their side and interests. Every time there was a royal beheading it was a win in my book, even if they were replaced by a worse tyrant. It shows they bleed. Sure there have been countless mass uprisings, usually orchestrated to profit the few, but some of them have been good, if only for a while.

You keep saying I know nothing about Eastern Philosophy and claim to be the only one with true deep and profound understanding. I think you should start your own Eastern Troll Philosophy cult. Eat TP for short.

I can't inspect code but I do see a lot of functional similarities.

I said:

Comment votes are a whole other ball of wax. I can comment, someone can reply, I can see it, then there can be a whole flurry of activity to their reply - and I won't even be notified about it.

Also, I can comment on a post I'm interested in, and others can comment there too, and I won't be notified about it.

And you said:

I'm getting the feelings/vibes you see saidit more as a weirdly ordered wiki-type structure where your problems described above would be more meaningful/biug problems.

Then:

I meant the whole intention: reddit as saidit is a social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website.

Wikipedia wants to be 'the' encyclopedia.

I agree with your assessment of the "totalitarian Wikipedia". But I disagree with that being conflated to my issues mentioned or some notion that I think SaidIt should somehow become dominant or whatever. While I have natural ambitions for SaidIt to be the best it can be, always striving, always improving, I don't need to compare much less dominate.

Why didn't you point that out before.

Because I never read it.

Ah. Telepathy.

Yeah, they are just people.

Okay, so we there we disagree. But fair points made.

You keep saying I know nothing about Eastern Philosophy and claim to be the only one with true deep and profound understanding.

I do not, did not and especially not in the reply you're now replying to... If you read carefully what I wrote, I no longer question that you know because you stated You did know but just used it because you figured I'd get a kick out of it.

Also I don't make that claim 'to be the only one with true deep and profound understanding', that is you imagining stuff...

I think you should start your own Eastern Troll Philosophy cult. Eat TP for short.

sigh

It's both open-source, so it's more of a won't

Hmm totally not what I meant. With intention: Saidit is the a newspaper and wikpedia(-like) are encyclopedia like. The discussions in saidit aren't intended to form an article, where the discussions in wikipedia (talk pages) are used to make/improve the article. Ehm putting it easy:

  • Saidit: Critics

  • Wikipedia (and clones): Makers

And no not Telepathy, you asked why I never pointed 'that out before', me saying 'I never read it' {read is past-tense here} is referring to that before... or am I getting English wrong now?

It's called "hyperbolic sarcasm". Maybe I should put quotes around everything I say. We need "emojis"!

"sigh" LOL

I won't cause I can't. I could compare a Hebrew bible and a Greek bible. It's all Greek to me.

Excellent description. When I first came here I was all about article information type comments. I don't know if I've changed much but I think I have maybe. I was never a fan of the rigid talk pages. I think they need a third informal social pages section. It may be a can of worms, but could be worth it.

SaidIt: "Critics"? Maybe vocal spectators or chaotic casual free speakers, as well as aggregators.

Wikipedia: "Makers"? More like (wannabe) anally organized librarian aggregators with agendas.

Not so much making. Some craft words but it's largely about sourcing other MSM makers.

I got your gist. But I tease. :P
