I’ve slept since then, I was mostly just teasing. To a certain extent, I like FR’s stone age web feel.

Reddit has a feature where replies to comments are nested like:

Original comment

reply 1

reply 1(a)

reply 2

etc. This makes threads there a bit more readable/coherent.

The also have an ‘upvote’ system where comments which receive more upvotes show up at the top. while comments which are downvoted migrate to the bottom.

It makes for an entertaining experience, if you (for example) browse the funny animal pictures subforum, you’ll see the most popular posts at the top etc. (mind you, there is a time decay factor so things don’t stay at the top forever)

Anyway, FR isn’t like that, and is in some ways superior, as things maintain more chronological coherence. And I’m sure the mgmt. isn’t interested in reworking the forum code at this point, so I doubt it’s going to change.

As it is, I’m mostly in this thread to lurk, and to very occasionally snark, trying to catch up on the day’s events, ya know.

And hoping that someone in the senate will have the (ahem, fortitude) to publicly play the video of Joe bragging about his QPQ.

Me too. I can’t stand other sites—trying to follow and have a coherent conversation is most frustrating to me.
