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.

Imagine Boards with no rules frequented by people who make Mussolini look like a centrist. Credit where it's due, the place is a comedy goldmine. I spent four hours laughing reading the posts on there.

Reddit hurts my eyes and, frequently, my brain.

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.

I like Reddit. I use it for conversation and fan theories about TV shows that I follow. Things that dont have much of a following on boards like Orphan Black. I also like reading some of the more interesting AMAs as they get big names and that's cool or mad stories like the guy with two working cöcks.

I like boards for something completely different. Take the new werewolf game forum for example, that'd never work on boards. I use boards for general news, after hours randomness, aforementioned werewolf game and just to generally keep an overview of what's happening at home.

Amazingly I've found that you can use different websites for different things!

RDM_83 again

Using Reddit more has made me appreciate that while Boards has its flaws it could be a lot worse, Reddit got astroturfed to bits with the US elections in its main forums to a point that you might as well be reading official Hillary clinton press releases. That and the super SJW cadres that go around inflitrating moderatorship on seemingly innocuous forums.

That said the reason I have been using it more is because with the Reddit is Fun app I can actually read the site on a slow mobile phone data connection, with the apparent death of m.boards.ie my usage has fallen hugely

You're looking at random posts, which are the ones most upvoted.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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...

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

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

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.

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'
