Why reddit is so insecure?
I've heard a bunch of people call 4chan's interface "stupid" and "confusing" despite being as simple as an interface can get.

but hey, whatever keeps newshits out I guess

Apparently, you can't or chose not to.
Who cares. >>>/b/

>>46793206
What the hell are you even talking about
>>46793226
Go be stupid somewhere else.
>>46793206
>dancing gifs aren't funny
you might as well throw away your computer
>>46793186
It doesn't have a up/downvote button!
I have to post a useless comment that says absolutely nothing of value and search a funny macro image to everything I like or dislike.
That's really awkard.
>>46793242
Tell me, where did I strike a nerve? Why are you taking your frustration out on me?
>>46793244
I don't own a Mac, so I think I'll hold onto it for a while longer.
>>46793186
I can see where people bashing 4chan are getting it from.
>answer to conversation at the top of the thread goes at the bottom (couple years back it didn't even mark you the post on mouse hover)
>no indentation for replies
>no names to differentiate users
But in all honesty, people don't want their opinions to be equal to every other opinion of every other person. They crave recognition, they need nicknames, karma, thumbs up, points.
This is a perfect safeguard against all sorts of newshits and attention whores.

The website 2ch takes the cake when it comes to simple interface
>>46793263
Whenever someone shows amusement through a reply to my anonymously created OC or agrees with me on 4chan despite us both being anonymous it brings me much greater feel of satisfaction than any dumb fucking forum karma or upvotes.
I once made a relatively "funny" YouTube comment that was actually dumb as hell but kept getting replies and thumbs up almost every week, I'm glad the Google plus migration completely murdered all old comments and buried them
I've never used Facebook, Quora, Reddit, or Craigslist
What's wrong with the others? they're mind numbingly simple.
>>46793305
There's nothing wrong with them. He's just being a typical butthurt "redditor".
>>46793263
Too bad the content is only slightly less shittier. One would expect more from not having attention whoring faggots, /g/ got traps heh
>>46793263
I tripfag.
>>46793305
I guess that they're so simple?
If you're interface isn't as useless and awful as Twitter or YouTube you're just not keeping up with modern web technology.
>>46794011
>YouTube
question about this, how does anybody keep up with comment chains in youtube? it opens up a whole new fucking window every time I try to click whoever they replied to. Have they not fully grasped the concept of threads or something?
>>46794387
Youtube comments completely stopped working for me, I can't comment, upvote, reply to other comments or anything at all. I can only read. It always pops up a popup window for like 1 second before automatically closing it for no reason when I click on "reply" or w/e.
I turned off adblock, turned off browser popup blocking stuff etc. and it still won't let me do anything.
Leave it to google to break perfectly working stuff I guess. It all worked fine back in 2007.
But Wikipedia, Craigslist and Amazon have great interfaces
Craigslist has been improving their search function lately, and its much nicer
Honestly reddits interface is a little unintuitive but it works
They could use a redesign
>>46794839
>Amazon has a great interface
>nope
>>46793129
Why is 4chan so insecure it has to complain about reddit everyday
Good. I fucking hate designers who make websites like this one: dicksonfong.com
Keep your shit simple and functional.
>>46794839
> Amazon has a good interface
It's so messy it's not even funny
>>46793298
>that warm feeling when someone replies to you
>>46795965
>tfw someone replies to you and is legitemately thankful for what you wrote
>>46793129
Why is /g/ so paranoid?
Posting funny picture
>>46793129
because it's nearing it's 10th birthday
you know what happens to websites on their 10th birthday right? Remember AOL?
>>46793186
Tumble and twitter are by far the worst fucking interfaces on the planet
>those reverse order twitter replies
>that name and quote distance and reverse order tumbler collapsing replies
Why
>>46794495
You need to enable 3rd-party cookies. What you describes is what happens when you block 3rd-party cookies.
>>46797143
Disgusting
>>46793129
God I hate Quora. It's really just another form of Facebook.
>>46793186
4chan really is fucked to an outside observer.
I remember first coming here in 2008 and not knowing what the fuck to do or how to post.
Reddit ui is reaally old somehow, even my both parents could easily navigate into reddit than failbook.
>>46798399
4chan before 4chan x was horrible. I don' know how I did it
I fucking hate the design of reddit. How do you even?
>>46797143
>>46798506
All you needed to know was "noko". The rest was just adding convenience rather than core usability.
Came here in 2007. Was 14 or 15. Never had an issue.
>>46798605
Was about to call you underage, then realized what year it was.
>>46798721
Where'd all the time go, man.

>/g/ got traps heh
I preferred it when /g/ had lolis.
>>46795965
>That one shitter who quotes everybody in the thread
>>46793129
>someone realized you don't need a million dollars worth of "UX design" to have a good interface
I go to reddit at work and 4chan away from greedy work Jews spying on my connection.
>>46793186
4chan is a turnoff because "good" posts don't get brought up to the top and "bad" posts don't get flagged. Also, of course, we don't tolerate newshits and we always call each other niggers.
>>46793129
The only thing 4chan could benefit from is threaded replies.
>>46802294
You mean like the inline quote expansion?
>>46802294
Literally fucking cancer. Use an extension of anything.
>>46802294
too much scrolling up and down for that, threaded replies work for reddit, and they would work for youtube if they would fucking implement them, but they wouldn't work for 4chan.
use this instead. >>46802423
What 4chan could use is a "make all quotes inline" button that you can click the first time you visit a big thread. I'd like that anyway.
>>46802221
this
casuals just want their content brought to them
on 4chan you have to start finding the good stuff in this landfill of shit
I really do feel that moot tried too hard to make this site more newfag-friendly.
>4chan strips EXIF data to prevent accidental doxing
>no email field because newshits thought it was required and entered their real email
>no more visible sage because newshits were getting their feelings hurt
>no more deletion passwords because newshits thought they were making a 4chan account or something
and then there's fucking auto-noko.
Back when newshits were actually dumbfounded because they had no idea how the site worked, there was no catalog to save you, and they couldn't find their thread so they would crawl back to where they came and not ruin this site with their worthless opinions.

>they would crawl back to where they came and not ruin this site with their worthless opinions.
i think a certain someone in this thread should be doing this right now
>>46804640
>no more visible sage because newshits were getting their feelings hurt
Even so, it's nice that there's no more 'SAGE' spam or petty arguments in threads over the use of it.
>>46798399
Fuck man
>came here early 2014 not know what the fuck was going on.
>lurking /b/ with the fresh smell of newfag dripping down my armpits.
>shellshocked.gif
>stuck to reddit for awhile, normalfag humor was still strong in me
>redpill moment and realized the faggotry
> found /o/, /g/ and /sp/ never looked back since.
>still newfag but whatever
I think most people go through something similar to this.
>>46804640
>auto noko
This is a completely good thing
>>46802221
Careful not to fall for it.
>>46796880
Jews are scary.
When I view a Reddit thread there's no flow, it's just upvoted comments or however they do it
>>46797264
>>those reverse order twitter replies
So much this. Fucking retarded.
>>46793129
What constitutes a "boring interface"? I think reddit has a shit interface that is annoyingly difficult to work with and I can't understand how it's users put up with it, but how is it "boring"? Would it not be boring if we put web 1.0 gifs everywhere?
>>46804640
>thought it was required and entered their real email
Oh boy my first post
>>46804720
I wished it was retained in /jp/ at least because they never abused the function.
moot fucked a lot of stuff but at least admitted to it in the end in his final Q&A. I don't really have a hope that the site will get better with the new admins and such. In all of the important website metrics, other sites do much better. Loyal website base and the occasional trend that quickly gets "stolen" or "repurposed" by other sites is all that actually keeps the site up. It's going to be a decaying corpse unless a stance is taken to actually try and improve the quality of the site, which is impossible given the way the site works now.
>>46793274
Isn't that the site that copied 4chan?
>>46807536
0/10.
Apply yourself.

It's pretentious yahoo answers + facebook.
Example:
What's the difference between air and cheese?
Top Response:
Let me tell you a story. This is a story about how Steve Jobs was the greatest person ever alive. I once served him pizza and sucked his dick. He didn't thank me, he just said "buy an iphone" and left. Anyways, back to your question. One is cheese, one is air.

Yahoo answers:
Are you retarded? xD Eben I know dat!

What site has a sexy interface /g/
>>46807600
Forgot to mention typical poster history:
"BTW, I went to Berkeley then MIT for grad school. I'm a post-doc at Harvard who plans on working at Cornell. My father was president of Dartmouth, Brown, and Yale. My wife attended Columbia and went to Caltech for grad school. My son is currently attending Stanford."

>>46807754
>easy to use
Thats a joke.
>>46793129
I'd say all those websites have good interfaces minus facebook and amazon.
I'd say Craigslist too, but I (and probably most people) only use it for sketch activities so I find the unappealing interface quite fitting.
>>46807683
God that's terrible and confusing. What happens when there is a lot of replies and you have to try to figure out who's replying to who.
If you use reddit, do yourself a favor and download reddit enhancement suite!

Underrated post.

>>46795574
Fucking agreed. Amazon has such a shit interface. I'm balls deep in Amazon services and it's such fucking shit to navigate to what I want. Every time they think up a new service they just duct tape it onto the old interface and now, 10 years later, it's a clusterfuck.
>>46793263
with the native extension, there's very little impact to any of that anymore.
>>46804640
I wholeheartly agree with this post, especially the email field options. I wish he just had renamed it.
