Reddit changed to that weird format so I stopped visiting. Putting old before everything is annoying

[–]magnora7 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Agreed, same. I only use old.reddit.com when I go there

[–]SierraKiloBravo 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Same. The "old" version is the original version that, for me, made it feel like it was part of web 1.0. The new version just feels like web 2.0 and one of the last things of the heydey is fading

I change the user agent to IE 10, and for some reason reddit will revert to the old design, which is what I want of course. Even then, I don't browse Reddit like I use to.

This place is a breath of fresh air. Can't predict the future so I'm just taking it all in whilst I still can.

The voting system is a 1000% improvement, as is the debate pyramid model. I find it so much better than Reddit, especially Now Reddit, which is mostly a dumpster of commercial garbage.

[–]sproketboy 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Better design. Better voting system. I like.

Better Header. New fucking header graphics and pics are awesome!! Looking great.

I'm only here for /s/incels, but this place is far more tolerable than reddit

[–]Chipit 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

The problem is the lack of normie content, like cat videos and landscape photos. Reddit gets the middle of the road while saidit gets the fringes. It's a problem all alternative websites have. I don't know how to get over it.

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Really? I think the lack of 'normie' content is exactly what makes this place special. I'm glad we have the ability to sort by insightful too, so when this place is half cat memes it can still be interesting to browse by insightful

[–]Chipit 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It'll never have any appeal other than to a tiny sect of outcasts. I'd like saidit to be bigger than that. A thumb in the eye of reddit. No censorship.

    That's how reddit was at first too, until digg collapsed

    [–]bobbobbybob 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    either post normie content yourself, or return to reddit. it is still there, you know.

    [–]Nemacolin 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    I very much appreciate the “old” format and the lack of porn on this site.

    Yes.

    I'm not a big fan of the socialist bullshit involving users filing complaints non-stop against mods when they have their fee-fees hurt for being muted for spam. The admins need to rethink their open door policy on letting the average dimwit set site policy on moderation. Otherwise just take mod controls away and let the place devolve into a tardapalooza. This place isn't exactly filled with geniuses either and is about 2 steps away from becoming as bad or worse than reddit if they let the inmates run the asylum. There's too many users and their alts fishing for internet points right now

    Agreed, that doesn't work and is part of why reddit failed, that's why we have rules only for mods that we actually enforce: https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/w6s/saidit_rules_for_moderators/

    What?

    [–]useless_aether 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    This is why we created the rule where mods cannot remove posts that are both in good faith and on-topic.

    don't kid yourself, this place is shite. it exactly the kind of shite the deplatformed deserve. as for me, i'm only here for watchpeopledie.

    [–]DualitySquared 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    no. it's reassuring though in how tiny the userbase is...

    users here are predominantly subhuman... it's like a zoo

    [–]Otacon 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    There's not really much here to be better. It's just political news posts, incels, and something of a slowly forming circlejerk.

              Dr-Cheeser is making a joke.

              The term 'soy' refers to soy based food products. Soy contains estrogen and consuming too much soy can lead to males developing female characteristics such as low muscle tone, effeminate facial features, and gynecomastia (Man Boobs).

              'Soylent' is a reference to 'Soylent Green' which is a book describing a dystopian future where the world is over populated but everyone eats a substance called 'soylent green'. Turns out soylent green is made from the dead bodies of people.

              There is a food substitute called 'soylent' which is named after Soylent Green. Dr-Cheeser is making reference to this drink.

                You're incredibly annoying now. Please go back to talking about using IDEs on monkeys and poisoning stray dogs. That stuff was fun to read. Now you obsess over incels and won't stop talking about them, it's lame.

                The jokes are not funny. They're just references to obscure internet things.

                dear god Snow. stop playing the retarded autist.

                You know exactly what is meant. This site has reduced 'i'm literally shaking', 'sweaty' NPC herd BS from men who failed to leave adolescence and spend their lives gushing over child's toys and taking selfies with their mouths wide.

                He means that as a symbolic phrase, "soy" meaning SJW and left-leaning

                  You are correct. 'soy' isnt a proper term. It is a slang word describing SJW's, Liberals (白左), and by extension: male feminists. 'Soyboy' is also a commonly used term.

                  degenerate language = 'slang'

                    I like to use the term "retard", not "snow", because i'm a trolling pedant with a stick up my arse.

                    [–]Tiwaking 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

                    Degenerate language would be when people mispronounce or misspell words. I guess 'soy' would be a jargon word if anything.

                    Also, if enough stupid people accept it: Then the dictionary will add the new term https://www.lexico.com/en/grammar/old-and-new-forms

                    The best example of degenerate language would be txt speak.
