It's rather fun seeing the names people have here vs there. Saidit is growing on me:)

[–]risistill me 4 insightful - 5 fun4 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 5 fun -  (0 children)

I upvoted you here too.

I didn't want to seem to be trying to deceive anyone. Hence, "sockofreddittisi." But apparently, you simply cannot use reddit in your saidit account name anymore. So, I hope my flair does the job.

[–]SusanJ 4 insightful - 5 fun4 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 5 fun -  (24 children)

Your flair is excellent!

You'll never believe this, but someone downvoted you for complimenting my flair, which I said I use so as not to deceive anyone.

Good grief.

PS I upvoted you.

Wait - saidit has downvotes? Where?

[–]risistill me 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

u/netweasel has suggested that the lights may just expire. That makes much more sense than my knee jerk reaction. Pinging u/SusanJ.

I have clicked both bulb & smiley on various comments and then step down into a deeper chain of comments & see only the smiley lit up, like it didn't register the bulb click.

[–]risistill me 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Okay, I put too much emphasis on being lit. (no pun intended) If you click on a bulb that is already lit, the "insightful" number goes down. Same for the face and the "fun" number.

However, it's very likely (pending more experience) that you see lights only on your own posts and the posts you've previously upvoted. So, you have the power to downvote and unfun yourself and the power to retract your previous upvotes.

I think by now I've confused everyone. I'm very sorry to you, u/netweasel and u/SusanJ.

[–]MartiniPlease send olives! 🍸[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Not you; the interface confuses. I think if I click smiley then bulb too fast that ut ignores bulb click.

[–]NetweaselContinuing the struggle 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

If you click on a bulb that is already lit,

Yeah, it's a pull chain. That was the other possibility.

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

Aha, that makes sense. I didn't see a way to downvote, but I only just arrived here. Cool!

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

If you post, the light bulb near your name automatically lights up. But, if you click it when it's lit, you can make it turn off. Same for a lit "fun" face. So, it's a very limited way to downvote. And now that I think they all go off anyway, I get that it's pointless.

Thanks for the upvotes! Yikes, I'm getting downvoted already?

[–]risistill me 5 insightful - 5 fun5 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 5 fun -  (2 children)

I just upvoted this post of yours, too.

The downvoter must be Fast and Furious!

[–]SusanJ 6 insightful - 6 fun6 insightful - 5 fun7 insightful - 6 fun -  (1 child)

They must be furious at least to down vote anyone at a party!

Maybe it was the fun vote, they seem to start at 0. I love the idea of fun votes though:)

[–]risistill me 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

I know. And over liking a flair, too.

I got downvoted on an FNDP thread at reddit. Shook my head.

Oops. You're downvoted again. I'll upvote again, then call it quits. (I'm on the east coast.)

[–]risistill me 5 insightful - 4 fun5 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 4 fun -  (10 children)

Thank you.

Does it convey that I'm redditrisi? saidit would not allow me to use reddit in the flair, either.

[–]SusanJ 5 insightful - 5 fun5 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 5 fun -  (9 children)

When you replied to one of my comment the other day, the lightbulb went off, an aha moment. So risi is redditrisi, that makes sense, since this isn't reddit:)

I dropped the 2019, since I'm the first SusanJ here. That hasn't happened in ages.

[–]CaelianPost No Toasties 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

Gee, I've never had that problem with Caelian. Plus I've got six more in reserve :-)

I first used Caelian at Daily Kos in 2003. 4-digit user ID :-)

[–]risistill me 6 insightful - 5 fun6 insightful - 4 fun7 insightful - 5 fun -  (7 children)

I really wanted to be redditrisi here, but I couldn't and I had really wanted to be risi at reddit, but I couldn't.

u/netweasel cleverly asked about saiditrisi, but I never thought of that. Maybe I should create another account?

On edit: Ok, I did. Among other things, I didn't want anyone else to get ideas and start posting as saiditrisi. But, I lazily used the same password. Now, saidit gives both accounts trouble logging in.

I give up!

If you are going to, better sooner than later. Before people get used to the one you're using now.

I can get downvoted under any name I wish!

Speaking of which, someone(s) has been extinguishing the "insightful" light on our posts. Whenever I notice, I re-light. And I will do that on your post right now, along with declaring it fun.

Maybe they expire?

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

Yours expired by the time that I got to your question.

[–]SusanJ 6 insightful - 6 fun6 insightful - 5 fun7 insightful - 6 fun -  (2 children)

It's a big decision, we may be here for a while. I was going to go with my first Usenet name for a brief moment.

Whatever you do, don't be siri!🙃

[–]risistill me 5 insightful - 5 fun5 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 5 fun -  (1 child)

Everyone knows you are SusanJ and not trying to hide anything by dropping a number.

I hope everyone gets that risi is not an attempt to hide anything, either.

I think anyone who doesn't know will catch on soon enough:)
