Agreed. This format is WAY better. Always bumps the threads with the newest comments to the top, etc. Facebook is awful for discussions

[Sammy Sofa]

It's because it's much easier and quicker to read and post in discussions about anything via newer social media platforms instead of a dorky old message board. Those of us that are left here are just sad and waiting to die.

 

Twitter is awful for discussion. It's a mess to read. It's amazing as a place for consolidating a bunch of news sources and stuff like that, and getting links to articles, but when people try to argue or have discussions on there it's just a cluster [expletive] of unreadable Tweets one after another. After that you have, what? Facebook and Instagram comments? That's like a half step above news article/blog comments as the darkest underbelliest dumbest parts of the internet.

 

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I don't really see any newer social media platforms that are better at doing what we do than this one.

 

I prefer this, too. We're obviously in the minority. You can disagree with it all you want, but a ton of people basically abandoned this type of format for newer social platforms.

Generally those aren't the type of people we want here anyways, so more power to them

I wish I could give a like to Derwood liking a post about twitter being bad.

To me, Reddit is more of the new style message board. Format complaints aside, it's basically one giant, subdivided message board, and has just absolutely crushed the whole like/dislike system that many here clamored for.

BRANDON SAID WE NEED TO BE MORE LIKE REDDIT.

 

SPREAD THE WORD.

[Derwood]

I've been to Reddit once or twice. It's such a visual mess that it wasn't even worth digging into. I tried reading one of the AMA's and couldn't figure out what the hell was going on

I kinda think Derwood hates everything about the internet except this dump.

Well, I don't feel bad for reasons, but I'll donate more in a few days.

 

edit: look, I'm almost divorced. Everything I spend not out of cash can cause a fight
