Poll: Do you want sticker notifications back? - Not the score, just the notifications.

Also: you shared a youtube clip with your username on it earlier. You might want to delete that. Unless it's a burner account I guess.

Its a burner. Its also named after a pretty popular sci-fi novel so have fun googling it I guess.

Awfully optimistic to think I give enough of a shit about you to form an opinion based on being called a nigger and mean stickers.

For you the day derpherp2 gave you an autistic sticker was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was a Tuesday.

Also seriously I'm the most proliferate negrater?
Skill Issue.

This nigger acting like he's cool, meanwhile he's so assmad he's still replying to every single post.

Oh god you're one of those

I mean its worth calling you on your shitty deflect.

You are incapable of not getting the last word. It actually hurts you the idea that someone might say something to you and you can't say something back. You compulsively negrate, again 37 times in three minutes, basically confirming the exact kind of behavior Dear Leader was highlighting as not wanting, and then your response to getting called out is to be like "Nuh uh I'm not the worst. You're just super mad I negrated you!"

I mean we all can tell you're just embarrassed you got called out. You can try to play it off all you want, but its clear as day.

lol. Embarassed.
lol. "We."

This is the first time I've seen someone assmad I negrated someone else. Thank you.

This function is finnicky in mobile by the way, you need to keep holding where you tapped while expanding the highlight range.

Stay strong. I post from mobile 95% of the time.

The Bison quote is a total classic though.

Edit: Double post, @Trombonista can you please merge my posts? I like things to look orderly.

True, and you can't argue with the classics.

I see we're now in the end days of this thread where it has devolved to gay pretty slap fights, carrion crows flying overhead. Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure

Hopefully you didn’t call it too soon like the other person did.

All it takes is one post from Dear leader and we are so fucking back.

Which precisely why making the site less r*dditorish is a good thing, the cowards may tophat me all they like for I have already won.

The thing that makes reddit shit is the moderation and the bans, not its retarded karma system. That just rewards the most insufferable people who survive the ban waves.

Plenty of other sites have ratings, reactions, up/down votes, and other feedback systems. Even if you stripped them all out, the most basic feedback is a reply post; but that gets spammy outside of fast-moving image boards. The sticker-haters are taking the reddit midwit stance of "hurr durr study say dopamine bad", without considering the overwhelming evidence that non-post reactions are useful in a number of ways.

Yes r*ddit is uniquely shit in how long it has been big for has allowed a nasty behaviour sink to grow there, not something this site can really be compared to hopefully.
I think it is trade off that we don't see the value in yet, we lose the utility of knowing what are level of engagement is in payment for cutting off the danger of a perverse incentive to posting habits, not everyone should need this of course, but if we do see a change in content quality or not I hope it is something lord and saviour will give us a perspective review on. Maybe even consider other options because I do miss the pop ups.

There's always tradeoff, and while the pro-sticker sperging gets heated, the anti-sticker brigade isn't helping by pretending there's absolutely nothing of value being lost. I've been sperging about this for a week, but I actually agree with most of what Null said about DMs, reaction scores, and the SQL performance. I don't agree about the sticker notifications, or that their removal will fix the behavior he dislikes.

I have yet to see anyone explain a positive model of how you're supposed to navigate the site "properly", other than "don't hide in DMs". Using sticker notifications to jump between threads is "wrong", doing the same thing with extra clicks is somehow "acceptable" since it's still allowed, but what is ideal?

• Are we all supposed to click every new Watched Thread notification like dopamine addicts?
• Or do we ignore those and click whatever's top of board?
• Are we supposed to focus on threads we're interested in, or spread out across the boards?
• Either way, doesn't the Featured banner funnel traffic in a way antithetical to both models?
• If Null wants us to random walk through the site, why is there no Random Thread button?
• Null previously said he wishes more people used the Off Topic boards, and the front page features help that; but then why expect us to navigate the faster-moving boards the same way as largely static cow boards/threads?

There's a missing element of intentionality here, and in the ~40 year history of software design, that always has blowback.

Null should have just nuked the reaction scores (or made them generically positive/negative) and waited a week, see how that turns out. If he still sees gay furfags doing ERP DMs and needs that out in the open, then he could try turning off individual users' notifications. If that doesn't move things the way he wants, then try nuking sticker notifications.

Instead we went from Yet Another DM Scandal to site-wide meltdown in the space of one afternoon. Incrementalism would have been way more informative, letting us actually see how each individual part affected site users. Not to mention it would be less contentious.

I understand Null got pissed, and I don't blame him for raging at some the crap in this thread. He's been accused of everything from Tumblr style hugboxing, to selling out for paypigs, to banging the biggest man-hating tophat collector. But a lot of this reflects the wildness of multiple changes and multiple generalizations being flung out.

You are a self censoring nigger faggot that doesn't understand what you type. Your quote in the post you are responding to, is you comparing the farms to reddit.

Which precisely why making the site less r*dditorish is a good thing,

You write like a redditor, argue like a redditor, and won't shut up about reddit. You might as well have a billboard on your forehead with Reddit Refugee on it. On top of that, if you aren't ESL every english teacher you've ever had should be fired.

words words words

That's a lot of overly verbose bullshit to just to admit the only notifications you get lately are people dunking on you in quote posts.

I feel a lot freer to r8 things without that backend fear of upsetting someone

I missed this gem earlier. You were afraid to giving people stickers when they'd know that it was you, a nigger faggot. You're 10 ply, bud.

It definitely looks like a hammer meeting nail situation, yeah he could just inch forward little reforms but that would take longer and maybe not work and he already has supreme executive power so why not just be decisive? such is the virility of autocracy.
I like to just read everything on a certain subject because I have too much free time, the highlight function gets shilled a lot but you miss a lot of the context on stuff. What's new is apparently good but it only ever sends me to the shitpost zone.
Like I said I hope we get a retrospective because this much salt will surety have some impact.

You're inferring an awful lot just because I disagree with you, have you considered maybe you're just overthinking reasons to excuse your rustled jimmies?

You don't even disagree with me. You want your sticker notifications back. We're not having an argument I'm playing kick the autistic.

rustled jimmies. Seriously? How much reddit gold have you bought in your life?

I'd like them back but I don't think think I should have them, same stance I take on caffeine after midday. For a while at least.
Anyway we're not arguing you're just bitching about invaders, but I'm the spaz obsessed with other websites right?
