There was a time when messages didn't have scores. ;)
I like the idea of the score modifying placement in the comment tree, but not being visible. I also like the idea of a more expressive score (maybe normalized), I suppose like the emoji systems do, to indicate funny, angry, etc, rather than some silly binary.
It's the first one where average users were affected beyond the blackout, though.
I think this makes the very big assumption that the average user uses third party apps. All of the polls on reddit, that I saw, suggested this is not true. For example. If that's true, then the average Redditor is only being inconvenienced by the blackout and related shenanigans.
Was there a wider poll that showed non-negligible third party usage?
but all the edits made me reconsider
not worry about how many people up/down-ticked our comment.
The first was an afterthought that I wanted to include. The second was because I realized my time trying Voat was close to the hate subs that the majority of the comments here are about. Neither were about up/down, I was just trying to be polite by making the additions clear, since there's no indicator in my UI.
The last one was a lighthearted joke. I thought the last few sentences of it, and the first few, and the middle ones, would make that clear. With an empty /m/funny and /m/jokes, and a /m/memes full of constipation, I'm beginning to suspect my humor may not be well align here.
But, I do think it's silly that given an opinion about my experience, on a question requesting an opinion about that event, results in downvotes. I guess I don't get the point of this place. If we're supposed to ignore karma, and what the larger community thinks of a comment, the score (and authors!) probably shouldn't be placed at such a predominant position with such a large size, indicating importance and worth (I'm on kbin UI).
Well, there's always whitespace!
your ridiculous all or nothing speculation
How is it ridiculous? It's my 2 cent opinion, lightly founded in observation of when this happened several times in the past, with reddit and several other platforms, to a question in a forum about questions, that requires speculation about the future.
There's not a correct or incorrect answer here, just a bunch of idiots guessing. Feel free to influence the future with downvotes though. I'll continue enjoying reading what people have to say.
What, no they're ⅂, ᒋ, Z, S, I, T, and O.
What if I aim low? Like, "please include the letter c in your next commit"? Will that hit hard enough? Or should I go for a whole word? Come on, I need this!
And, they'll all still be wrong!
I have a few ideas on how to clog my bowels. I really can't wait to contribute!!!
I'm seeing red whistles and hearing dog flags coming from you! Am I doing it right?
I think most of the answers to your questions can be answered by the question that this comment section is responding to, to understand the framing that I'm commenting in:
But, this is the first and last Reddit related thread that I plan on participating in, so I'll be cheering with you, if we ever get the miracle of reddit evaporating. Although, I would be worried where they would all end up.
