Why cant this place be more like Reddit?

June1992

There's 3,300 posts in the Trump thread for example. Who wants to read all that?

Why not have the best, most upvoted (or liked in the case), posts rise to the top like Reddit and make things far more readable?

Im back reading Boards after a sabbatical but I see nothing has changed. It's still very much Old Web and a chore to peruse. What a shame and a wasted opportunity.

Back to Reddit for me it is then.

Unless you browsed the internet using Netscape or IE3 using dial up when rounded corners were considered cutting edge web design, you know nothing of the 'old web'

Well , as they say, if you prefer Reddit then go use Reddit. This is boards and does what Boards does. It's not rocket science.

I for one will miss you terribly. I can only hope that time heals my wounds.

Make boards great again!

Because we're not an echo chamber. I like Reddit but not for debate, if you hide the unpopular opinions at the bottom of the page then it's not a discussion, it's a circle jerk.

We'll have no more of that!!

If you prefer Reddit then use Reddit. I can't catch on to it at all but sure different strokes for different folks

I don't really "get" Reddit.

It's basically an image hosting/hotlinking site with votes. Just really low content and not even vaguely conducive to discussion.

Except for all the threads that have unpopular opinions. Including the one called unpopular opinions.

Unless you're talking about racism or whatever, in which case good.

If you want boards to be more like Reddit, then why not just go to Reddit ...?

Star_Nupa

Use both? So far, none of my computers have exploded having a tab in Reddit and one in Boards open at the same time...

KingBrian2

Boards should be more like Stormfront. Get the controversy out of the way.:)

OP has been devoured. Only small bits of fur and scattered bones remain.

Yep. I only ever end up there looking at some amusing meme, or what ever, from a link elsewhere. I really don't care about the comments below them. Who gives a f**k what some random stranger thinks of another random strangers Confession Bear?

I look at the subject matter and f**k off.

This in a big way. For me anyway. OK I'm an old fart, so that may be one reason I don't like reddit style layouts, but the echo chamber tendency is far greater on such a platform. Sure it's easy to read the top up voted replies, but that reflects the local ecosystem and worldview of the sub. Grand for techies stuff, even welcome, but not nearly so much for actual debate. Granted, it does seem as if more and more people want more and more echo chambers, but again for me I usually learn far more about myself and my position on a subject from those who disagree with me.

I really want to see what Reddit is like but I actually couldn't be arsed going to the effort to check. It's a sorry day when you're too lazy to type a website address into an address bar.

Senna

I never really got reddit, I have visited the site many time, but I can never understand what I'm looking at.
