🧔 Justin It would be cool if we could collapse threads. And if there were a page with random messages, so that the site doesn't depend so much on you having to follow people first.
đŸ‘Ÿ Marty I dig it so far
🎣 Fish it's got a really clean look
👉 LĂ©o I miss the upvote button and being able to see more than one level of comments in a single page. Regardless, I've been having a great experience so far (i.e., past 10 minutes)
😾 Iaroslav Why do you like upvote/like/whatever ? What kind of information does it provide ?
👉 LĂ©o Hi! In my opinion that kind of feature provides a less cumbersome way of saying "I agree". It provides a way to gage the general consensus in any given topic. I'm not saying that it is perfect. It is not a perfect tool and it has to be implemented carefully, but I believe it has value. As an example, I believe that what reddit does with user "karma" has a net negative effect.
Rsm I hated the up/down vote option in some social media. Not my cup of tea.
👉 LĂ©o Yeah, I'm not a fan of the downvote button. And the upvoting is not the perfect tool either
🌼 Hejo I am happy about the missing like-function. It encourages to type more rather than sending an empty 'like'.
👉 LĂ©o That's a good point. I personally like the HN approach of having an upvote button, but no downvote. I wonder how comments are sorted here, or if they are sorted at all. Also, I just realized there is no "report" button.
🌼 Hejo You have a point there. It will be more difficult to spot 'quality' content without the upvotes.
đŸ± Jolene Same here. This is great for mobile.
🧐 Nrmn I like the idea but for now it looks just like an endless (though searchable) stream of plain text messages. Isn't that called a mailinglist?
🌼 Hejo same. Looks promising so far.
