If you could, how would you personally improve the UX of this site?

A cutline somewhere on the replies page to better indicate which ones haven't been read yet. I think any small emphasis would be a huge help :)

Toggle dark theme through settings as I don't know how to change color schemes is Linux. I also couldn't write this earlier i.imgur.com/qAfoFN... otherwise known as a slash punctuation mark.

Introduce a minimum word count for replies maybe (~24 characters)?

I would open up the design a little. Like this : dropbox.com/s/xkgb... and collapse threads.

Sounds silly, but I don't understand how the "replies" function works at all. I'll see a thread with something like "8 replies", and when I click it, I expect the replies to drop down under it in a clear hiearchy. They don't seem to do that, and I don't see the number of replies that the link indicates.

I don't like having to click in to reply, all the back button is a bit strange after i've jumped into a thread to reply to it.

the ability to change text size? the site does work well even if i set zoom level to 120% but the default text is too small on my screen

Updating it to be a bit more efficient in terms of use space on desktop. Consolidating "trends" like Twitter when there's enough traffic.

1. allow line breaks in replies with a shortcut (ctrl-return?). 2. add an actual submit button to replies. It's unclear that entering will submit the reply versus add a new line. 3. larger font

You can do line breaks in textareas with shift+return. It won't persist here, though. +1, however. I like the font as is. You can ctrl-plus on your browser or use Stylus chrome extension to change the CSS persistently.

collapse threads, center content like twitter so I don't have to slightly turn my head, simplify navigation (notifications don't need to be separated and are very noisy), also what does the green dot do?

I hate to pile on with the same answers others are given but the minimalist approach is definitely the way to go and making all sections of the threads independently collapsable would go a very long way.

Along with this, make the thread comment stuff stretch to the right more. There's no reason to not use the space. I know that's more UI, but it would go a long way.

I honestly like it so far. I don't use social media beyond lurking on Reddit, but so far it's simple enough for me to like using for commenting and posting. Though, replying gets a little confusing for me. Also, I noticed that one post in Trending has a lot of comments. It'd be cool to be able to collapse the big chunk of comments.

won't a "like" feature kinda introduce public pressure?

I feel that, but I think one of the core ideas of this site was the lack of popularity scores (likes, followers, shares etc)

I prefer it without it! One of the reasons I used to like 4chan (10 years ago) in spite of the offensive content and anonymity was that people didn't try to gain the approval of others. I think you end up with more genuine interaction that way, though with 4chan you get a lot more than just that, of course.

I think the #replies might just be a higher effort version of that metric
