reddit's format is fine for posing a question and letting the "best" answer bubble up it's dogshit for evolving conversation e. like using it for piracy / hacking / tech info is fine. "How do I do X?" top comment is usually it

It's there a post scrambler tool out there? Everyone is saying the tool that lets you delete all of your previous reddit posts is apparently worthless since reddit can just detect it's use and restore them the next day. I wanna scramble mine into gibberish so they're completely worthless as a commodity, and maybe if we're lucky we get some real squirrelly LLMs in the future.

Code Jockey posted:reddit's format is fine for posing a question and letting the "best" answer bubble up Well that’s just StackOverflow with more lax moderation. Not that this is bad and SO is one of the other holdouts against Google going to the dogs but I think both linear and SO in the same place would be useful. You get a slow chat long format posting option and a “you could have Googled this you dolt but answering gives me fake internet points” format posting option. Trying to cram one format into the other ends up sucking for both. Tiny Timbs posted:that loving tapatalk pop up — Posted from my HTC Desire Evo 4G+

Laserjet 4P posted:— Posted from my HTC Desire Evo 4G+ God, I had an HTC Desire like 10 years ago. Worst loving phone I've ever owned in my life. Absolute piece of poo poo that would go into an unending boot loop if its battery ever ran out and it turned off, so I had to obsessively keep it continuously powered on for like two years before I could get a new phone from my provider. Thanks for triggering those memories.

The tech questions don't always get answered the right way. This is horribly niche, so you'll have to bear with me. I looked up a WordPress development question (a CMS platform that a pretty hefty chunk of the worlds' websites are built on). It was a pretty simple thing, a hook that takes a piece of data you've contributed or gathered and fires it off elsewhere. There's two distinct ways of doing this - installing a third-party plugin, and writing it in custom code (which is what the plugin is doing anyway, but adding its own bloat). Everyone in the comments was suggesting to install the 'main' plugin that does that, which is technically the quickest way of doing it I suppose but shortcuts like that come at a cost. The short-term, easy way of solving the problem was the recommended one, the (in my opinion much more future-proof and better overall) solution of writing your own functionality was ignored.

I used to hate the grouped posts on Reddit but it does help at times to quickly let me scroll past the ones upmanship that conversations can often lead to. A topic isn't a conversation. It's that static background noise as you flip the radio dial (or you hear at the start of Fastball since radio now is just gambling, car commercials, and grifting culture warrior ads) where you pick up bits and pieces of words here and then. Sort new then minimize the entire chains and it's like little indexes or what each topic was at a glance. Granted I used to be a gamefaqs mod so maybe my condition is terminal. As for reddit, i tend to always be against the fucker staying to get a pay day but at the end of the day. Just give me a new place where I can see people post tank guy each year and let me know how many people needlessly died of COVID to own the libs.

I’m absolutely speaking out my rear end in a top hat here (so same as all my other posts). But I think a significant part of it is so that us olds (so I guess 30 and up) had the internet as a more neutral, comparatively less profit driven entity. You can use it to research! Meet others into whatever niche poo poo you’re into! Make a cool website to further branch out! Limitless! Connect and relate with people! Some of us grew into that mindset, others set that mindset into motion, that the internet was this massive archipelago of stuff and you’re given a boat to travel widely. The sea and islands keep on forming and there are new inlets and harbors to explore. You can build together or alone, find your own little island, or simply laze on by. I don’t really feel that way about the internet anymore. There are limits and boundaries, haphazard and ill conceived. A subdivision of walled gardens, all with its it’s own rules and regulations, even if the plants within the gardens don’t quite grow well together. But does that matter that the soggy soil loving swamp marigolds is next to a more drought resistant plant? no - as long as the garden is pretty. Maybe the neighbors next door with the bigger garden would want to merge gardens, even if the insects and creatures contributing to the gardens ecosystem and survival, are threatened. I think this particular Reddit disaster is a breaking point in what the internet was, and what the internet is being forced into becoming.

I think the best parts of SA are the specialist sections. BSS comics thread is great, as is the PYF comics thread, get exposed to so much odd comics I never would've known about otherwise. Particularly from other countries, like Demons of Baseball, Chako, or vintage western stuff like Out of Our Way and Prince Val. The DIY forum is full of interesting threads as well, people building houses, metalworking, woodworking, tools in general etc etc. AI for car guys, ask/tell for the parents threads, D&D has a few interesting threads such as the country specific ones, ukmt is a fun read even though I am not from there.

What is the best way of setting up an RSS-style feed nowadays? I have Feedly, but the majority of sites have completely broken their RSS content and the ones that haven't have truncated the headlines so that all the links give you half a sentence and force you to click through to actually find out what the article is about, because they don't get paid if you don't click through to land on their lovely site.

Group posts is the only thing keeping reddit barely readable cause every post beyond two levels deep turns into a circlejerk of internet guys all explaining the same things to each other and patting themselves on the backs for understanding or a dumb chain of meme replies.

Skippy McPants posted:You're not wrong, but in many ways, what's happening was inevitable. Natural outcome perhaps, but I don't believe it had to be inevitable. Without the problems of IPv4 exhaustion, NAT, and low-bandwidth asymmetric last-mile Internet connections we'd have had more a chance at building the distributed data network that the internet was designed to be. But now we've been stuck with giant content silos that want to control and monetize your every byte and bit. Oh and maybe you've got one or two providers willing to get you to those content silos, and they also want to control and monetize your every byte and bit, and sometimes charge the content silos for access to their users or something like that. The real winners are the consumers!
