Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go...

Feels like old school forums again. A little barebones compared to some of the corporate stuff, but that's not a bad thing. Just the simple what's needed no extra fluff.

Well, now I want RIF too, completion is good!

In all seriousness this is good to see.

Its a new app, I'm thinking of making my own, not that I think I could do better but just to try work is enough programming though.

Still, I say give it a few weeks. Let the devs get a handle on Android and this explosive growth.

That's the nail on the head, and what has stopped most alternatives in the past. There needs to be a saturation point of usage, what that is for a platform varies.

Not to mention adapting to the new norms and styles. Reddit was fairly open in general, but specific subs had some very ironcald rules about style and usage. old school forums like SpaceBattles are even more 'soft' rule specific simply dictated by the community and the old guard on it.

Well, it's the nature of almost any online community. Say the 'popular' thing and you're lauded, even if a slightly less popular point is more valid / has better evidence.

There really is no good way to discourage this other than fostering a community which values the discourse over 'popular' thing. That's difficult to do even offline.

Its an issue, but Its at least barebones and information dense. Feels like going back 20 years on internet design, with some new things. Its old school and a bit of whiplash even for me. Some younger users are going to have a task getting around at first.

Not that I would say change it, just an observation and barrier to entry.

I like that the code is 451, but yeah no one is going to explicitly use it when they're blocking things. A little too on the nose.

Leela, and not because I had a crush on her as a kid.

She's strong no nonsense, but pigheaded enough to make mistakes. Still, her heart is always in the right place.

Hmm, I don't disagree with the fragmentation but that's the nature of any new social platform. It's also been proven out that eventually one or two communities for a topic will become the dominant one with the others falling into disuse.

Attempting to merge communities early or artificially will cause moderator strife as minor disagreements balloon. Especially in a multireddit community where no one mod(team) has absolute control.

I don't have a reason from a technical point of view, but from a social one. Forcing communities and instances together early will only cause strife. After a few years where two communities have a track record and proven 'behavior' would the multireddit not cause issue.

So, that whole section for Spock on being a Vulcan, That's the video clip they're going to give new actors for Vulcans isn't it? Right down to the prosthetics.

Nah, waifu car girls is where it's at.

Still need that alert function on the app.

Although all this immature development is making me consider taking a stab at programming Social Networks again. Last effort was an app back in College to collate facebook, twitter, reddit, etc into one interface. Very clunky, held together by proverbial tape and crashed when there were non latin characters input. Still, that was fun.

More people, yay!

Just, no reason to upgrade yet. My current card plays even the newest games at middling levels which is tolerable. Based on previous experience, I'll upgrade once every 5 years or so. I'm only two years into this secondhand card.

Given the influx of users, and the general scramble with server restarts, it feels like the early day of forums again. I'll not be complaining about it!

Alright so not just me, it's useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.

Not to mention data loss and the need for a threshold of active users to keep things running.

Also not get overrun by certain elements which have co opted other social media platforms in recent history...

I have a feeling they got a massive number of those,ni am one of them as well.

Well, that looks like fun! Although I'm expecting some E3 style graphics downgrade...
