yeah, let's join a site, then change the way it works without learning about the different sort options available because that would be so cool amirite?

cool hobby, full of people who are into its rules and invite new people in to share the fun.

New people are not so much into the hobby, more like to be social, invite in even more people. Original rules change because they are not really what the new people want.

Site fucked.

How about keep the reddit cancer back in reddit?

2 days, you've been here for 2 fucking days, you entitled prick

I read an article on the nature of sub-cultures that I think applies and amplifies what you're saying -- but, you know, without coming off as a bitter asshole.

    Well, no judgement there. It just doesn't seem like it's the most fun way to live. Coupled with the fact that it doesn't accomplish anything, I try to avoid it when I can.

    tone policing? Member for 5 days and you come in and start tone policing.

    fuck, redditors are a bunch of entitled pricks, for real

    [–]theFriendlyDoomer 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

    Or, just read the article.

    [–]bobbobbybob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    or stop being a tone policing entitled prick.

    i mean, really. you post an article that says at length what I said very succinctly, and then be a dick about it? fuck off.

    I don't think you get it. "Policing" would mean either of us have the ability to shut down the other.

    You get to say something. I get to say something. You don't have to like what I say. I don't have to like what you say. Throwing a fucking temper tantrum won't do any good with me. So you fuck off.

    This was a post asking others what they thought, it's certainly fine that you disagree, and I don't want the site to thoughtlessly copy Reddit in every regard.

    In SaidIt's case, there doesn't appear to be a "rising" sort option, so it's either "new" posts with little/no engagement yet, or "hot" posts that are a little on the older side, where much of the engagement is already past. I thought it might be nice to show users more discussions that are newer but are already active, giving them a jumping point to get more involved. If someone is an occasional user, they'll want to see the best posts from the last couple days, but if someone is trying to visit regularly, help grow the site, and consistently contribute to conversations, then they may prefer a front page that's updating a little more often.

    I trust the people running SaidIt enough to assume that they won't just instantly change how the site works without thinking about it because a new person posted about it. I wouldn't support a huge change, just a little nudge towards newer content, and it's up to the admins to discuss anything like that.

    you don't get it do you. even now, you still think your input has any value yet, you want changes straight away, you want the world to adjust to you.

    You are entitled.

    Nice gatekeeping

    [–]bobbobbybob 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Thanks. gatekeepers are a wonderful ting, and maintain the integrity of spaces wonderfully.
