What's the most beautiful sub? Announcing our saidit-wide CSS contest.

Tiwaking · 2019-11-21T20:45:04+00:00

I agree. https://saidit.net/s/deutsch looks really nice :D

FormosaOolong · 2019-11-21T19:53:46+00:00

Yes! That said I also vote for it.

FormosaOolong · 2019-11-21T19:44:02+00:00

It looks great! You guys really deliver, thank you so much. I love the new subs/popular subs feature, makes it easier to keep up.

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-21T19:11:25+00:00

Just saying...

pyramidsarecool · 2019-11-21T18:42:35+00:00

Because the community is called "The Purple Army"

useless_aether · 2019-11-21T18:11:34+00:00

that green needs to be dialed down just a notch, to make it look like the old dumb terminals of a mainframe

useless_aether · 2019-11-21T17:41:52+00:00

i disabled dark reader, so i can witness this wonder

JasonCarswell · 2019-11-21T16:59:15+00:00

Very subtle, classy, and a definite improvement. I like the scrolling parallax thing a lot.

The "find popular subs" and "find new subs" would be better at the top of my monster list than at the bottom. I wouldn't have known about it if not told to look for it.

Distinguishing posts from comments is great.

Mnemonic · 2019-11-21T16:53:07+00:00

That was easier fixed than thought! And it looks even better now!

JasonCarswell · 2019-11-21T16:43:03+00:00

Beauty and functionality are two very different criteria.

I designed my "Ergonomix" CSS to improve readability and pragmatic use. The aesthetics were always secondary though still important . /s/IdeasForSaidIt features one of my better banners with my CSS that is also applied to most of my subs with one of my banners among a wide variety of topics: https://infogalactic.com/info/SaidIt_banner_gallery I tried to stomp all the CSS errors, but can't fix what I'm not aware of, not to mention the inherent limits of CSS and Reddit-source. I hope to wrap it up sooner than later when I feel inclined, but in a world of unapologetic excessive censorship motivation doesn't come easy.

Day mode and night mode are also very different creatures.

/s/deutch is my fave and I wish I made it.

Edit: Seems all my CSS and banners are broken. :( Not looking forward to fixing them. But at least the overall site finally looks better.

JasonCarswell · 2019-11-21T16:16:34+00:00

It's certainly improved since last I saw it. Now I can actually read it.

JasonCarswell · 2019-11-21T16:15:50+00:00

/s/deutch is my fave. I told them so ages ago. If I ever did another, having learned the ins and outs, rather than tweaking code bit by bit, I'd start with design and build it to be something akin to theirs. Snow is good too.

Jesus-Christ · 2019-11-21T15:42:24+00:00

Well then post content you like... It's still a pretty small site compared to it's predecessor so you need to contribute.

DR3DDL0CC · 2019-11-21T15:10:17+00:00

A minimalist approach, I like it!

Great job as usual, brother

d3rr · 2019-11-21T14:47:33+00:00

/s/internet

useless_aether · 2019-11-21T14:33:09+00:00

a-ha! :-)

Entropick · 2019-11-21T14:24:45+00:00

I've been meaning to mention how great it's looking. With the headers and the colorization, It's one of the most visually pleasing sites I've seen on the web lately.

Snow · 2019-11-21T13:35:27+00:00

I liked this one also! Except the one of mine, we have similar aesthetic concept.😃💘🎨

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-21T13:23:07+00:00

s/Internet

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-21T13:21:35+00:00

Interesting.

That sub uses quite a bit of purple; for a white guy... ;-)

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-21T13:00:50+00:00

Snow?

Jesus-Christ · 2019-11-21T12:00:46+00:00

s/Ice_Poseidon2. It's nice, easy on the eyes.

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T11:25:25+00:00

Submit your favorite sub with custom design!

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T11:06:35+00:00

I may do that yeah, they're 14px padding, and I may turn them down to 12 or 11px. Thanks for the feedback

dabrepus · 2019-11-21T10:45:52+00:00

You can use CSS Injector to modify SaidIt until they release more settings for this matter.

EnoughGunControl · 2019-11-21T10:39:19+00:00

Could you reduce the box padding & margin by a bit?

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T10:34:39+00:00

https://saidit.net/s/deutsch has always had very nice CSS

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T10:34:15+00:00

https://saidit.net/s/UserSnow/ I like the tabs at the top of this sub

Snow · 2019-11-21T10:24:32+00:00

I changed the visited link color for this update.

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T10:21:07+00:00

Your https://saidit.net/s/UserSnow/ sub looks great, I like the tabs at the top. We should have a site-wide CSS contest for fun

SierraKiloBravo · 2019-11-21T10:08:21+00:00

Bless thee and thy offspring

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T08:52:22+00:00

Thanks! d3rr was just talking about getting IRC started again with our new setup. Once it's all set up, we'll have our own dedicated IRC server separate from the saidit main website server. But it may be a little while, it's still in the works

dabrepus · 2019-11-21T08:50:48+00:00

This looks really good, thanks for the good work!

How is the IRC chat doing?

Snow · 2019-11-21T08:40:16+00:00

I have to check my subs about new bugs will show or not.

Heck yeah, you're a pioneer Snow. Breaking new ground everyday. Godspeed.

magnora7 · 2019-11-21T07:43:22+00:00

Great! Thanks!

Snow · 2019-11-21T07:43:07+00:00

I think because of atypical politically incorrect posts, not typical politically incorrect posts.

They dislike politically incorrect new ideas, and call it SPAM.

Tiwaking · 2019-11-21T07:42:44+00:00

Awesome. And I love it!

d3rr · 2019-11-21T07:39:21+00:00

Why, because of your atypical posts? Do they think you're a spammer/shitposter?

d3rr · 2019-11-21T07:36:19+00:00

be the posts you wish to see in this world

Snow · 2019-11-21T07:35:25+00:00

💖💖

Of course, because you and magnora are the admins still didn't ban me yet. I tried so many sites that they all view me as the top 1% going to ban VIP.

castaway · 2019-11-21T07:32:35+00:00

I've just recently joined and see almost every singly topic US related, save for the recent randy andy one. It's boring for the rest of us, so I, an English person living in Thailand am out of here. Let me know if it gets a tad more cosmopolitan. Tata.

d3rr · 2019-11-21T07:28:22+00:00

Thank you for trying to make SaidIt better.

Snow · 2019-11-21T06:56:27+00:00

Okay.😀

d3rr · 2019-11-21T06:42:57+00:00

Yeah, pretty cool. Maybe post your screenshot to /s/IdeasForSaidit and see if people are into it.

Snow · 2019-11-21T06:27:15+00:00

It makes people identify who reply the post as fast as possible.

d3rr · 2019-11-21T06:10:07+00:00

That's a bold design change that would have to have a pretty good supporting consensus in order to to be enabled by default. Having more of an actual profile including a pic sounds cool though.

FormosaOolong · 2019-11-21T05:13:09+00:00

You could try nightmode to scrub the Redditfeel from your eyeballs, and then take a long moment to appreciate the lack of downvoting.

Suddenly things seem different...and better...

Snow · 2019-11-21T04:56:10+00:00

Function request: profile pic.

You can modify the css to your liking using an extension like Stylus (Firefox / Chrome).

Mnemonic · 2019-11-21T03:42:42+00:00

Hmpf

d3rr · 2019-11-21T03:37:36+00:00

It was pretty much token open source. Par for the course.

d3rr · 2019-11-21T03:36:31+00:00

If we used /s/internet CSS sitewide, then /s/internet wouldn't be special.

Snow · 2019-11-21T02:56:54+00:00

old shit code..........

Snow · 2019-11-21T02:03:12+00:00

Mnemonic · 2019-11-21T01:42:00+00:00

If anyone wants to improve the design have at it.

!?

SpaceStoner · 2019-11-21T00:42:17+00:00

If anyone wants to improve the design have at it.

I think it's pretty much perfect as-is so I'll contribute by doing nothing.

d3rr · 2019-11-20T23:37:32+00:00

Ty keep complaining until it's back.

d3rr · 2019-11-20T23:36:16+00:00

No risk of takedown, they open sourced this old shit code. Much fixings were done.

We don't view Reddit as the enemy, just new Reddit. We're a continuation of Aaron Swartz Reddit.

Anyway, pull requests are accepted. If anyone wants to improve the design have at it.

useless_aether · 2019-11-20T23:31:18+00:00

beauty is only skin deep. superficial differences wont matter in the long run..

StrangersGoodBye · 2019-11-20T21:00:40+00:00

they are safe, i checked

Elvis_Presley · 2019-11-20T15:05:20+00:00

But technically speaking if a discussion already started at the very bottom then it would be within the rules to continue on that bottom level because the rules only forbid going down on the POD

Elvis_Presley · 2019-11-20T15:02:07+00:00

You want that cancer auto-imported here opposed to let it gradually come once this site gains popularity?

bk2mummy4u · 2019-11-20T14:23:22+00:00

oh ok. Thanks :)

Snow · 2019-11-20T14:18:51+00:00

IRC.

bk2mummy4u · 2019-11-20T14:18:10+00:00

What was the chatroom?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, I'm new here.

theoldgrinch · 2019-11-20T09:23:24+00:00

Regarding the pyramid...

Honestly it makes sense if you're purely looking at holding a professional debate, but it's also basically NO FUN ALLOWED ZONE. It's also extremely prone to subjective/misunderstood rulings. For example if you've "explicitly refuted the central point" of another person, he's basically not allowed to respond to you anymore (because if it's been ruled that your central point has been refuted... you can't really turn it around. You've basically been killed on the battlefield to use a metaphor).

Hyperbole:

Person 1: Capitalism has increase the standard of living unlike ever before

Person 2: There has never been more deaths in human history than during capitalism [Technically correct although dumb statement]

Person 3: Actually-

Mod/Admin: HUR DUR YOU WERE ALREADY REFUTED

banhammer

It basically leaves you at the mercy of mods/admins. In it's current form it's pretty cancerous and if anything it should stop at "Counter Argument" as far as rulings go* (refutation seems redundant and will probably just trigger a flood of logical fallacy posts despite not understanding them).

*I assume this will be used in actual enforcement because you write "you're not welcome here" if you go down layers

magnora7 · 2019-11-20T08:01:25+00:00

The IRC is currently disabled at the moment, it'll come back eventually.

The voting works so that insightful gives 2 karma and funny gives 1. Self-voting is also intentional. Let me know if you have any other questions

LaptopWillEatThisAcc · 2019-11-20T06:06:29+00:00

'Sup. This place seems intended to have a 'comfier', more tight-knit and positive atmosphere due to subscription being opt-out instead of opt-in and the whole two kinds of upvotes instead of a downvote thing, and I'm curious to find out how scalable such a system will be if/when this place grows larger.

I had a question about the built-in IRC functionality; I don't see any kind of IRC window on any page. Is this feature currently disabled site-wide?

Edit: a quick question about the voting system. I just noticed that I have a total of 6 comment karma, even though I've only received a total of 3 Insightful ratings on my comments as of time of edit. It looks like the part of Reddit where you automatically upvote your own comments is still in effect, and my own ratings of my comments are affecting my karma count. Is this intentional?

Cartman · 2019-11-16T04:46:47+00:00

Yeah I ain’t clicking that shit.

Popper · 2019-11-15T14:00:54+00:00

RatherSmallPotato · 2019-11-15T07:39:52+00:00

Risky ass click.

Snow · 2019-11-15T07:30:06+00:00

The whole thing seems very fake for me...

Who would going to call himself "chad" on Tinder???

d3rr · 2019-11-15T07:03:08+00:00

Works for me.. he's off topic and sexualizing minors.

d3rr · 2019-11-14T08:17:52+00:00

Nice analysis here god. One idea that I think I've seen somewhere is having a little votes vs. time graph. so it's anonymized data, but everyone can see if a post/comment got a surge of votes at any point.

d3rr · 2019-11-14T05:11:14+00:00

I think most of the alternatives are pretty dead lately. Things should pick up when Reddit does more bans for the 2020 election.

f45erhae5rh5aer4 · 2019-11-14T04:31:41+00:00

Yea I detest reddit but I'm still addicted to it. This site just doesn't hold my interest, maybe once a day I visit and try to argue against a racist or something. Best I can do

ScoobyDoo · 2019-11-14T03:06:04+00:00

Just post in reddit subs how saidit.net is a free speech alternative in subs which abuse free speech (AKA as almost all of them). I have seen a lot of positive feedback from users who are unaware this site exists.

useless_aether · 2019-11-13T20:31:04+00:00

you aren't that special either

But if it became well known...

Snow · 2019-11-13T06:04:56+00:00

Keep it grow slowly.😈

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-13T05:13:05+00:00

That's a great idea.

Tom_Bombadil · 2019-11-13T05:11:48+00:00

Specific shit.

magnora7 · 2019-11-12T22:52:23+00:00

Welcome! How'd you find out about saidit?

proc0 · 2019-11-12T20:57:23+00:00

Growth of these sites is inevitable I think. It slowly snowballs and then spikes at some point going mainstream. The question is, how will Saidit handle all that popularity? I still remember Dig, which sold out the site the moment this happened. Reddit waited a few years but eventually sold out anyway. Now there's only a handful of small sites that feel like the way Dig and Reddit felt before they went mainstream. Will they give in to corporate overlords who will prioritize money over freedom of speech?

Otacon · 2019-11-12T20:49:02+00:00

I would personally post more threads but it feels like I'm spamming if I post 3 threads in a day that get no traction but there are 23|20 upvoted threads with a bunch of comments.

RatherSmallPotato · 2019-11-12T19:15:18+00:00

Can we get an autobot sending messages to people on reddit every time one of their posts is deleted?

Jesus-Christ · 2019-11-12T18:49:32+00:00

Post shit. Any shit. All shit.

Jesus-Christ · 2019-11-12T18:48:05+00:00

You need to do more of these, my favourite one was the Arby's one where the catfish called her a coward for not wanting to increase her body count.

yetanotherone_sigh · 2019-11-12T15:38:46+00:00

The more we use saidit, the more we comment and post and interact, the more it will be attractive for an outsider to join. I occasionally lurk here. The problem is, there just isn't enough new material or discussion. Who wants to be the only commenter on a thread?

Once there are a decent number of comments on a thread, then others will be incentivized to join in the conversation. 21000 people is not a large enough community, especially if most of them joined and didn't come back after a week.

yetanotherone_sigh · 2019-11-12T15:35:50+00:00

I'm f*cking as fast as I can.

DualitySquared · 2019-11-12T12:36:14+00:00

That's the thing.

The types of peeps attracted to a niche like saidit full of nut jobs is thankfully few.

Otacon · 2019-11-12T09:48:41+00:00

To answer that question you'd have to know why people are posting on reddit and the more populated alternatives, and then provide the things people post for or things of equal value

SpaceStoner · 2019-11-12T09:32:17+00:00

I can't wait to get my current news from /s/PlusNewsNew2nomemesallowed in a few years time.
