Re: duplicates, good to know. I didn't realize. I suppose limiting it to one sub per post keeps folks from abusing the categories, intentionally or not, like could happen if they were classified by meta-tags. It finally makes a little sense why Steemit limits their tags to 5 which always bugged me.

Any chance the posts could be separate but their comments shared/merged/mirrored?

So long endless threads are common? At least on Reddit? (which I've rarely visited)

Easier is good. I'm still trying to work out my SaidIt "routine". Initially I was bouncing all over with a bunch of tabs open in my browser and a bunch of hibernated tabs that I'd check to see if anyone responded to my blinding brilliance. Now I've got my system with two main tabs, a few secondary hibernated tabs, and a handfull of others. My two main SaidIt tabs are "New" and "Comments" to catch all the recent gossip and from which I can pop open the articles and/or conversations. My secondary tabs are "Overview", "Messages", and my one sub, but now I see my overview lists my sub. I don't really even need the overview as my name is in the header. And I was awaiting feed back on message management to see if I could individually "mark as read".

How do you manage? Have any ergonomic/organizational tips? Do you use "save" or "hide"? It's not rocket science so maybe I'm pushing too hard for a nothing burger.

Thus far on SaidIt I've mostly seen short commentary threads on external articles, some internally based conversations, and a few longer discussions. Is that typical. I had expected more centralized long form ongoing conversations on a topic, but now I see it's different with subs being the topic.

One reason I'd never wanted to join Reddit was because when I did visit for one reason or another while doing research, I'd stumble into a forum-like discussion but because it was closed or archived I couldn't offer my two cents or answers to questions they had. If everything gets closed what's the point? Sure, I know that you can go to some forums that still have open conversations from over a decade ago, or even Wikipedia talk pages where you're supposed to discuss the content and controversies of the article (but not socialize!), - and you can add to these long-term discussions, just don't expect a timely response if ever.

On another note, and I want you (or anyone reading this) to be brutally honest. I know that I've been commenting a shit tonne and I feel like I'm dominating this site with what seems like a handful of regulars and another handful less regulars (who likely have jobs and lives, etc). As a noob I feel like a bull in a china shop. Or like a cat pissing all over my new territory. Obviously I feel compelled to do this but I also I care enough to ask if it's an imposition in any way. It's all new and weird to me. Though I often walk on eggshell on Wikipedia when in conflict with someone else about whatever. Maybe that's because I've been beaten into submission by being banned for a year, but then, I was self-conscious before that. I look forward to feedback, good bad or ugly.

Regardless of the feedback, I keep threatening to control my SaidIt addiction, and I will for all our sakes. Not because I won't be shooting off my mouth about this or that, but because of my mysterious projects I hope will elevate SaidIt, InfoGalactic, and most importantly minds everywhere. And I can't do that while reading articles that either reaffirm what I already know or learning new little (or big) details about the big picture corruption. I don't intend to abandon SaidIt, just focus and limit my time here. ...After I finish having fun with it for a while.
