In "Messages"...

There's a "mark all as read" but not one for the opposite which might be nice. Though I'd prefer both to be more specific, "mark all here/above as read/unread", because there are more pages, which leads me to...

"view more: ‹ prev | next ›"

That's it? There is no count number, no option to "view 20|50|100|200|500" or whatever. Again, this could potentially be adjusted under preferences too.

I totally understand if new user settings are simplified by default. I hope to become a power-user or whatever the SaidIt equivalent of WikiGnome is (opposite of a WikiTroll).

Lastly, I think I brought it up but maybe I missed/forgot the answer or didn't query it properly...

Is there a reason the posts get locked in? Perhaps it's fundamental in the code architecture or more flexibly by admin settings? For example I might want to revisit my postings to adjust the titles or put them in a different sub.

I certainly don't mean to sound like I'm bitching if this comes off wrong. This is meant as constructive criticism to help improve the site or at very least learn about it.

The reddit news aggregator and upvote model locks titles and other stuff in, or things would be manipulated after the fact. to move a post you can post it again in a different sub or there is a crossposting concept which maintains a link back to the original.

power users are into this extension, fire it up at old.reddit.com and check out how many settings it has https://redditenhancementsuite.com/

Nifty gadget! And it works on SaidIt? Are there other tools I should know about?

We have a said it fork that mostly works, the header section gets messed up because we customized it, link in the footer. Not in Chrome store or whatever yet.

The only other Reddit thing you should know is here's how Reddit gives all of their data to the Feds and bot writers: https://pushshift.io/

I installed the Reddit RES. Should I take it out before adding yours?

Neat info.

I already knew you were collecting my data, building a profile, and anticipating my next moves with A.I. that can see into the future. Tell me how it ends.

Also I've just downloaded some YouTube Reddit videos that are far more promising than every single shit page I came across.

I'm going to add flair icons. I could make some for the other not-my-subs if you want. Maybe make some lists in the wikis.

You can have them both going if you want, they only activate based on url.

How it ends is like in China. If you participate in subversive content you can't buy a gun and get a zero credit score and can't buy property or fly on a plane.

Edit: for the record Said it does not share data with anyone. We do have ips as part of the rate limiting/abuse prevention code.

At least in China if you don't get a gun you can fall back on your kung-fu.

Please put that "Said it does not share data with anyone" in the Canary!

Also please add Brave browser to the Chrome\Opera group on RES.

/u/magnora7 Jason brought up a good point, we should say somewhere that we don't share data with anyone. Maybe we should add a 'Privacy' section to here https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/j1/the_saiditnet_terms_and_content_policy/ or add a privacy policy page.

Sounds good. I'll add it soon

I added this:

Privacy

We do not share your data with anyone, nor do we have any intent to aggregate data with the purpose of selling it, unlike many social media companies. We don't gather data that we don't need.
