the only good reddit is a dead reddit so yeah, reddit is almost good

also I missed all the drama but apparently some kids are angry about something about ethics in fat shaming or are community or whatever, I don't care, I just want to see reddit die.

These investors share and support the principles in which we hold, that a free community is neccessary. They support us and our mission.

any system where separate threads can start from posts within a thread are retarded. it always sucks but stupid fuckers keep trying to make it work.

i bet half of reddit's issues are caused by this, 'cause cassandra is somehow even worse at joining a hierarchical list of replies than mssql and oracle are

I think I read somewhere that voat is a from-scratch rewrite so whatever reddit's issues are voat's will be different

maybe they use mongodb and node.js

dialogue doesn't scale

even in person, if you've ever had a good conversation with someone you've probably noticed that having a third person present kindof fucks it all up

hell, even plato's symposium is mostly just a sequence of dialogues, the places where multiple people interject are the lighthearted bits between the parts you're actually meant to pay attention to

i'm sure there's a technical solution to this though

MeruFM: Jul 27, 2010

every attempt to reply to a top-level post instead generates a chat instance

additional people attempting to reply join the chat

users can be voted out of a chat

once less than 2 people are still in the chat or is idle for 5 minutes, the chat closes and all content is immortalized under the top-level post

i'll ~~start the wiki~~ ~~init the mongodb~~ find investors

even that can get slightly disorganised, but yeah, it's better than infinite threading and i can see a case for not having no threading

honestly the worst part about facebook's implementation is that it's inconsistent in that some types of posts get threaded replies and some don't

it's just inconsistently rolled out. you gotta make sure video posts or posts by jimmy from macon with threading on don't cause metrics drops.

So if yospos is building some forum software, that means we have to use mongo right?
