Admittedly even though I’ve been listening to chapo since 2018-ish I only became “officially part of the community”, as in i started following the podcast every week and joined the subreddit, a few months ago when i became very politically invested upon seeing how bad the government dealt with the pandemic. as a result i’m not too familiarized with a lot of the inside jokes one of them being this collective annoyance at Amber. I’ve heard some rumours about her criticizing the subreddit and telling us all to “get a life” or something along those lines, but apart from that I don’t really know much about her outside of the chapo realm. Care to elucidate me?
AAAAAHHHHHH
Why is everything broken here? Why have the @ system if it doesn’t even ping users, I’ve used it several times now ;___;
I knoooow!! It’s handy in that it gives you the user’s actual correct name, and highlights it so they’re easier to see; that’s how I found this. But it sucks in that it feels like you’re pinging but you’re not; I had that same experience when I found out.
Why is everything broken here?
Because it’s a brand new site that was slapped together by devs literally working around the clock to create a home for a homeless community. For example, I just spent the last two hours collecting a list of like 10 features that need to be fixed/built next, and I’m not even a dev haha. The devs work work work work all night and day, and they’re making a lot of great progress imo. We also… have had to spend some time focusing on certain pressing issues which weren’t exactly the ones we wanted to focus on. It is what it is! :)
I cannot deal with this, I just typed out a huge reply to you in my inbox, and then autoupdate populated a new reply I got and erased the entire comment by closing the text box.
This is seriously horrible.
I was saying, I think so much of this would be fixed by turning auto sort off, it bumps you to the top or bottom of the page, autosorts comments around making anyone lose track of a thread, deletes comments being typed when it autosorts, doesn’t actually implement the sort you select on a thread and somehow glitches between them, etc.
It just did it again as I typed this on the main thread. I’ve started stopping every typed sentence to Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C so I don’t lose my whole comment. I want to cry
