Reddit is bad because of upvotes/downvotes

Use GNU Social.

use news

Right-wing opinions get censored in reddit. It does not happen in twitter as often. Happy now?

Can faggots like OP stop posting here?

Instead they get shadowbanned, unverified, shadow-muted (it's essentially a de-broadcasted tweet). Not to mention original content/tweets are effectively taken down all the time by people blocking their accounts.

Twitter also short-links and tracks all their likes similar to (((Google))).

Twitter was a novel idea
Reddit and Digg are just dmoz.org with a comment section

Reddit's upvote/downvote system brings popular opinions into everyone's view, and hides unpopular ones. This turns it into a gigantic circlejerk. The only way to hear unpopular opinions is to go to a niche subreddit where the usually unpopular opinions are popular.

As I understand it, Twitter doesn't suffer from this as much

hey faggots they're called imageboards.

Twitter sucks big-time

This, things aren't hidden, only promoted. Reddit hides things AND promotes other things.

Yep, this.

Yes, because that's how censorship 2.0 works. (Removal of some content + mostly promotion -- they say this is only to appeal to advertisers but it's not entirely that)

Censorship 1.0 works by removing information or simply not allowing any place for a discussion (blocked comments on news sites regarding political articles, youtube comments on controversial topics, etc)

On 'anonymous' imageboards you deal with v3.0, which is attempts to manipulate, to dissuade discussions (D&Cing, etc), to ensure the shills can create context around the talking points they wish.

Just use I2pd, retroshare, and or gnusocial

shut up nerd

Twitter's blocks and mutes only affect one person's ability to see, namely the blocker/muter's ability. IIRC, too many downvotes and the post is hidden from everyone.

Again, not that sure about reddit, but in order to get blocked that much you'd have to be a supreme cunt 24/7. And making a new account on twitter is a lot easier than leddit, I assume.

Twitter is basically a really shitty blog site. Reddit is a really shitty forum.

The reason people are "fine with twitter", even though that's a blatant lie, is because twitter's community is easier to ignore and aren't a bunch of meme-spouting faggots. Reddit is more cancerous and harder to ignore.

Reddit censors wrongthink by deriving from an aggregate score that the community influences. Just in case the community doesn't self-censor the wrong opinions, the mods step in and correct that for them.

Twitter relies on users to censor their own feed willingly. Just in case you don't self-censor the wrong opinions, the mods step in and correct that for you.

I hope this clears things up.

What the hell's the difference between chans and imageboards?

Reddit is shit for polarized discussion, but pretends to be good at it because popular happy go lucky opinions rise to the top. Hobbyist or very narrow interest subs are often good on Reddit because useful and cool stuff rises to the top, and there is little disagreement to be had.

Twitter is shit for discussion, but doesn't hide it. It's only good for entertaining shitposts.

Chans are good for discussion because the only things that matter are the words that are said. Granted, shitposts may drown out discussion and chans have a very narrow audience due to their reputation.

Ability to buy alcohol in US.

Now GTFO, underageb&.

Shove a cactus up yer urethra. Cold Shekel uses birdshit, but that doesn't make it good. Leddit's Upvote/Downvote system is fine for porn and simple shit, any discussion becomes a circlejerk fast. Twitter's fine for testing out AI, it's really kind of shit for anything else, maybe posting quick news about a site you own in the way hotpockets does might be kinda useful, but there's other, more effective ways.

Boy, you must be quite new here, newfag, or just fucking retarded. Anons aren't a fucking hivemind, exept for NO FUN ALLOWED! fags, like the nu/pol/ fags, and the "you said 'Nigger' or 'Kike' on muh safespace" fags

I have a twitter account(s) and I've been suspended, shadowbanned, told to delete tweets and locked multiple times.

Twitter in many aspects is much worse in how they go about things.

yahoo.com/beauty/azealia-banks-twitter-account-gets-173400008.html

retweets don't change what order you view tweets in. you view tweets chronologically no matter what. and people frequently hate-retweet, so if you piss people off you don't get hidden.

Followers on Twitter are far more valuable than upvotes on reddit which are handed out like candy, both increase visibility but on reddit it's per thread while on Twitter it's for the entire site.

Fear of being banned and losing your Twitter followers is a big influence on the behavior of Twitter users.

People are conditioned by the admins of Twitter to behave in certain ways.

you get "downvoted" with a block or mute on twitter which is far more potent than a single downvote on reddit.

Yes, there are a lot of people who criticize Reddit and use Twitter. I think it's because they want to redpill normalfags, not because they like it.

These sites are called image boards. Chan culture is a term used by tumblrites and cucks on Reddit.

Now, I'm not going to turn away Summerfags, but I am going to ask that they lurk moar before posting.

That's what I'm saying user, It's not as good as some alternatives. Prolly would be better just to have a sidebar on the main page of your site posting new info about the site itself, Oekai related.

I have too say that amount of people ITT who have a fist hand experience with all that shit and explain its deeper meaning says a lot about Holla Forums.

Haha, holy shit. Well okay, maybe the mods don't do it themselves anymore, but given enough time these things automate.

I have to say that people who only come into topics to piss their pants and sage being unable to spell a two letter word correctly says a lot about them too.

chan is jsut an abreviation for channel so its a name

anonymous imagevoard is the site style

I'm not beign 100% technically accurate with this but that is the gist of it

False. Reddit is unhelpful because the voting gimmick has been designed in a way that leads to a majority community of control freaks and chauvinists that want to censorship anything they disagree with. (but lack the evidence to do so with integrity)

This is similar to half-chan's moderation, but it's worse because a few tragically confused folks will actually browse reddit voluntarily and non-ironically. The group think gives them the ego boost (validation) to continue this unexplainable behavior, and the power to censor has them hooked like a crack whore.

If you're being honest, they're both equally (within 2%) full of cancer.

3rd post nailed it really.

There's no difference between censorship and censorship. I am interested in reviewing your evidence if you feel that I or the third post that exposed this OP as nonsense is wrong.

if someone blocks or mutes you on twitter, it's just like custom filters on *chans. they don't change the ability of other people to see your tweet.

Actually, they're called online forums. The essential concept is older than imageboards. Textboard renaissance when?

They do change the ability.

Twitter's algorithm decides who to shadowban or lock based on the number of mutes/blocks.

Twitter's algorithm also works on word usage.

If I have a low number of upvotes ( followers) and I tweet out words like "fuck" then my tweets with those words are getting shadowbanned.

That's the important difference between saying
and

With custom filters you can block people you deem to have nothing of value to add to the discussion. With reddit/twitter shadowbans, that decision is centralized and not subject to scrutiny. Personally, I never use custom filters.

(((vid related not relevant)))

Custom filters are fine.

Holla Forums's custom filters don't work that well because you still see the stub and it's generally slow to load.

On Holla Forums, really?
Reddit may be junk but twitter is full on cesspool.

...

Chans are anything that has ever spawned from 2chan, it's foreign iterations, the refuges that have been built, and so on. Halfchan, fullchan, masterchan, 420chan, operatorchan, all that shit.

Imageboards are more generally the format, which exists outside the spectrum of the chans, and always has.

Trips here has it right.

and 2chan itself was spawned from 2ch.

Twitter is a "social network", Reddit is a hivemind, pick your poison.

It's too late, normie is now accepted terminology. We are finally anonymous Goybook.

or, get this, word usage changes over time even in small communities

there's nothing fine about twitter. not even the UI (despite being a hipster company which hires 200 UX engineers)

reddit is open source
github.com/reddit/reddit

nepfag?

breitbart.com/tech/2016/07/09/twitter-rewards-black-lives-matter/

Twitter is fine
Reddit bans/shadowbans you for hurting people's feelings in boards
8ch bans/shadowbans you for hurting BO's feeling in his board

So Twitter > Reddit > 8ch

It is a mystery.

Holla Forums doesn't even support shadowbans.

okay just straight up bans then

Which boards?

all of them?

This one too?

...

Yes?

Do you have an example?

how about this guy

This is what Twitter does, except on Twitter they don't even acknowledge how the shadowban/ban system works and just do it all silently.

Can you elaborate?

An Holla Forums board is equivalent to a Twitter account.

A ban on a board is equivalent to a Twitter block.

whats there to elaborate?

you gotta be some huge faggot to get banned/shadowbanned on twitter to be fair

What did you post, exactly?

A week ago, with all the Holla Forums+/board/ bullshit, I remember someone flooding those threads. Was that you?

No this was months ago when /a/ and Holla Forums claimed that they were being invaded and decided to post in every other board

No you don't, the system is mostly automated.

If someone with a lot of followers blocks you it sets you on the fast track to shadowban.

Ah.

So what did you post?

...

nice

It's like your downvote counting more for having more reddit gold

Did you make a single post telling them to take their Holla Forums and /a/ shit to their boards, or did you make the same post in twenty different threads or something?

Twitter employees never tell people how the system works, I had to work it out myself, always keeping a second browser open to tell if my tweets are being seen by anyone but me, even their analytics is bullshit since it gives view numbers on tweets only the shadowbanned person can view.

Say if I tweet a fuck you at Deray, the first thing that happens is my tweet is silently filtered and only I can see it because I used the f-word, second is that I realize the f-word is filtered so I tweet something else, what happens then is Deray sees the tweet and he blocks me, I have 100 followers and he has 6 million, also some of his followers block me, since the people have downvoted me my account becomes shadowbanned and no one but me can see any of the tweets I send out for 24 hours, I wait it out and if this keeps up with people blocking me then my account gets locked and twitter demands a verification from a sms code they send after I give up my phone number.

By the time all this shit is done I can't build up any followers and the only way to survive on twitter is to circlejerk among like minded people.

and people say reddit is shit

t. shadowban expert

I suggested to a few posts that they should go back

Though if I had posted in twenty or two hundred threads it shouldnt matter

How long were you banned?

a week? a month?

its been months idk

good to know

Oh my fucking god. It's like in 1984 the book where they force the protagonist to write 2 x 2 = 5.

You gotta be some real stupid faggot to be a 'global warming skeptic', good on twitter.

For future reference

Guess you wouldn't mind having them here for a while like cuckchan then

The problem with Reddit isn't the fact that occasionally the mods sweep a thread and people get banned for saying mean words.

The structure and design of the website employs horribly effective mental conditioning, like training a pet to do things for treats. If you behave correctly, say the right things, refer to the right pop-cultural entities and make the right jokes, you get rewarded. You see this with your own posts, and you see the popular post in whatever thread you enter. This leads to extremely quick assimilation, and just after a few weeks you can't discern a new Reddit user from a seasoned Reddit user. They talk like each other, think like each other, react to things like each other.

When you enter a Reddit thread, it's usually filled with people agreeing on each others points, writing long elaborations why things are like everyone else agrees on, and the comedy is the absolute lowest-common-denominator-tier like puns or established in-jokes that are considered funny purely on the basis of people knowing what you're referring to.

It's so intense that you can feel if someone is a Reddit user, even in something completely unrelated like a Defcon talk or some shit.

Even if they ripped out all of the moderation, lead and censorship, the site would still devolve into corrosive cancer eventually.

you're retarded

Danbooru is an imageboard too.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imageboard

Why wouldn't they support reddit? Holla Forums's current culture is visually indistinguishable from the likes of SRS.

see here

have you really never seen twitter asking for a phone number when you do something suspicious?

That's not a downvote. If it was, it would affect the number of likes/retweets.

Also, reddit doesn't do shadowbans anymore, you get a message when you get banned with the ban reason, so twitter is even worse.

oy vey the goyms are really this stupid.

iirc they have now some new group that monitors twatter, lead by Sarkeesian, to create a more safe envoirment, menaing unwanted shit get deleted or blocked from anyone elses view.

youtube.com/watch?v=SSrjAXK5pGw

Why are you posting a video of some literal who faggot talking about what some politician and some spokesperson said?

Are you one of those 'real stupid faggot'?

Yep, 'real stupid faggot' just about describes you.

They're both complete SJW >>>/tumblr/-tier shit OP. This is common knowledge.

...

is this bait ? or are you really that stupid/ignorant ?
defining it simply as an "imageboard" is as stupid as defining it as a forum or website.

they surely are but you cant put them in the same bascket as Danbooru.
that s why it s called *chan.
and not just "imageboard" or "forum"

Go back to Holla Forums, kid.

If you guys get so mad at Reddit/Twitter, you'd love Hubski. It's to Reddit what Reddit is to 8ch.

Good one. The algorithm for what goes on the front page is hidden and so are how many upvotes and downvotes each post gets.

Twitter isn't perfect at all. At least it doesn't sort tweets by how many retweets it has though. It's still in chronological order like a chan.

Not any more. A lot of people are angry about that.

Reddit became shit due to circlejerking of atheists and anti-animu amerifat dad club. Greater truth is 'censorship' and the fact that they helped a lot in passing net neutrality cancer which is why 's internet is so shite.
Well "moderated" by cucks, fags, or simply SJWs means controlled content and it's cancer because there are no global rules but the feelings of these said mods or the majority (muh feels) like deletion of fatpeoplehate and other glorious kek subreddits, now all that's left are normie shit. It is open source due to Aaron Swartz being involved in its development (founder of RSS and Creative commons) but the community sunk when jews introduced social justice and faggotry to amerifag and enforced censorship to the next level.

In twitter they don't take action unless the shit that people posted is destroying the site and violates their little terms and policies.
Twitter is known for allowing bots and fake followers, it sure is not moderated by cucks the fact that the tay.ai incident displayed how much Holla Forums fags use twitter, also twitter is the only mainstream broadcast shit for haxxorz, nazis, semites, anti-semites, fags, degenerates- literally everything because twitter is not twitter without people arguing and fucking and banging with each other. They don't moderate the site because they only care about traffic and the shit stock market value.

Conclusion:
Moderation is anti-content and anti-content means filthy cuck mods and censorship and less to no OC due to "social correctness" of content. I guess Holla Forums-chan was right.

chan is relevant

futaba chaneru
2leaf channel
first and originally made by japs
literally BBS when released
kaomoji and ASCII art
1999 so no anima images until windows XP and good raster gfx software

boorus
western origin despite weeby pronunciation
otaku centered
main purpose of procuring images from the other side of the world wide weeb
complex system
rich content

In jap/chink/kimchi world chans're still called BBS (don't include that lolita BBS spam here, though) also the proper way to call them in the IT shit.

Is from channel, a bbs and irc term. Now and here is just a "name"

Is the type of site.

Reddit is a circlejerk who control a company.
Twitter is a company who control a circlejerk.
4chan is/was a circlejerk who control another circlejerk.

Poor Holla Forumsack. Want a hug? A cup of milk?

wew

They don't remove the bots and fake followers because they want to inflate their numbers but I get suspended on Twitter all the time. The Nazis and anti semites that twitter allows are the ones that play the game like Twitter wants them to, over the top and cartoonish. If you're actually pissing off the Left and not just acting like a troll raving about the anime jew lizards they'll ban you. That is of course if you first navigate the hurdles of their shadowbanning system.

Just look at ISIS, that's an insurgency that gets things done, they don't just shitpost anime and Hitler pics so of course they get banned from Twitter. It's a game where you have to play by their rules and never step outside of that or you're out.

twitter.com/TGSNTtv/status/752918871858745346

But Isis is receive support from the Left.
