Datalounge is NOT Reddit.

Doesn’t it seem like datalounge is getting more and more like reddit?

You don’t have to WW every single post, it isn’t an upvote.

And enough with the Ask Me Anything threads!

Take some silver, OP. 🥈

Who the hell died and made you Head Cunt of this place, OP?

I'll dole out WWs as much as I want. It's not like we have a WW board anymore.

by Anonymousreply 2September 6, 2019 12:32 AM

I'm with r2. I like giving out WW. It's fun! I don't give a shit about the AMAs. No one here is that interesting and I do not care about your lives. "I'm a nubile young teen" or "I'm having an affair" could not be more boring. The only personal stories I like are ESTs.

Muriel died and made me head of DL.

by Anonymousreply 5September 6, 2019 12:35 AM

It's not, thank goodness. I've tried to get into Reddit but 80% of the conversations stray away from the main topic into side-jokes and side-conversation. DL, occasional vulgarity aside, is much more informative and straightforward.

by Anonymousreply 6September 6, 2019 12:37 AM

OP is right, of course.

Because he can't accept the the DL is just another cow trough for the bovines to dribble their shit down their legs while they chew their cud and call it "fun" and "life affirming" and "sassy."

And the geldings who estrogenize the place are the same.

Just look at R6, "defending" the DL while citing "occasional vulgarity." "Informative and straightforward."

The two adjectives that tell the curse of the Guernsey Girls better than any pejoratives a seasoned DLer could fling.

Moo.

R11, I think R7 is one of those strange coincidences, like the Kennedy-Lincoln connection. R7 types too smart to be a cow.

It can look like that because a variety of people are WWing different replies. The result is that many replies then have WWs. You can see in a thread where diametrically different replies have similar WW counts from different people.

by Anonymousreply 16September 6, 2019 1:50 AM

R6 Exactly! I dislike reddit for a number of reasons but chief among them is the commenters inability to stay the fuck on topic. It's like everyone there has a raging case of untreated ADHD.

by Anonymousreply 17September 6, 2019 2:10 AM

OP, this is a message board. All message boards are fundamentally the same whether you like it or not. Find something engaging to post or shut the fuck up. x

by Anonymousreply 18September 6, 2019 2:18 AM

I don't think the WW system is at all analogous to the upvote set up at reddit. Here you can get 15 ww and it won't affect the order in which your comment appears. In reddit the most popular comments are shown first so you don't see the wide range of opinions that you do here. And half the time the most popular comment is some corny one liner only peripherally related to the subject being discussed.

by Anonymousreply 19September 6, 2019 2:18 AM

Reddit is awful. Look at their advice subreddits. It is suburban trash breeder drama all the time. Nothing like the insight, fun and wit you see on DL.

by Anonymousreply 20September 6, 2019 2:23 AM

Just fyi DL has a subreddit too, OP.

by Anonymousreply 21September 6, 2019 5:16 AM

Reddit seems younger.

by Anonymousreply 22September 6, 2019 5:56 AM

R22 But Data Lounge still LOOKS younger.

by Anonymousreply 23September 6, 2019 6:36 AM

WWs basically are upvotes now thanks to the trolls no one wants to do anything about. There will never be a WW column anymore, not after PPSM showed everyone how easy it was to use sockpuppets to get a post on the WW sidebar. That was years ago so you might want to get used to it, OP.

by Anonymousreply 24September 6, 2019 6:40 AM

R7 is getting a ton of attention by spamming the board with their anti woman blather (which is becoming less and less coherent) but at least you can put him on ignore easily. When the Reddit bros do it, it's a pain to add them to a block list.

by Anonymousreply 25September 6, 2019 6:43 AM

I’ll have you know, OP, that I’ve made several posts that did not receive a single W&W.

by Anonymousreply 26September 6, 2019 6:43 AM

Reddit is fun but it's dominated by young straight men, so it's a different atmosphere. (Every sub has its own personality, so it's not like that everywhere, but the biggest gay subreddit I know of is r/gaybros: the site definitely has a bent towards "bro"-ness.) WWs are pretty harmless I think. They don't redirect the conversation or stifle unpopular opinions like you might argue that upvotes/downvotes can.

by Anonymousreply 27September 6, 2019 6:46 AM

That's a very important distinction r27. Thank Muriel for DL.

Reddit is useful, the only real analysis ever done on this website was the guy who analyzed Linda Lavin's versions of the Alice theme song. That was worthy of a doctorate.

Reddit isn't down all that often, maybe a little more than DL, but not much.

EST= Emotional Support Troll ?????

by Anonymousreply 41September 19, 2019 3:55 PM

EST = Elaborate Story Troll, the type of person you see taking three paragraphs to explain how incredible their love life is or something.

WW = Wit and Wisdom... when you press it it's basically a show of approval for the comment... like an upvote or a thumbs up... you appreciated what that user contributed to the discussion.

The absolute worst thing about Reddit is how every single sub-Reddit is peppered with bad works of “art” users have “created”. Usually with a really pathetic “I know it’s not great lol but pls be kind!”. I came here to discuss a tv programme not look at your crap painting you did of one of its actors.

by Anonymousreply 45September 19, 2019 5:24 PM

I'm a member of a few subreddits, and one pet peeve annoys me immensely. So many people start their sentences with the phrase "I mean, ..." Why even type that out that filler phrase? Just save yourself (and your audience) some keystrokes.

by Anonymousreply 46September 19, 2019 5:38 PM

r38 You're entirely wrong, I'm afraid. This is the place a lot of the Redditors report downtime and congregate at in the comments whenever Reddit is down. There have been three major incidents within the past three days, either with the site not being accessible or with the login. Mind you, that downtime usually lasts for minutes, and very rarely longer. You can see there have been more than 20k reports about the last outage in the past 24 hours.

You must not be a frequent user if you think Reddit is down as much as DL, which isn't down very often at all.

r46 What an anally-retentive pet peeve that is. I use that phrase constantly and trust me, I'm completely at peace with the time that will take out of my lifetime in the end. I'm sure everyone else who uses it is as well.
