This post is a follow-up to the previous 'suggestions & bug reports' thread.

To address concerns over our domain registrar, it is currently in the transfer process. The site may be briefly unavailable at a point during this transfer.


We've made many changes since the last update and will continue fixing issues and adding new features, including flairs, dark mode, and more.

  • Adjusted text post content color in listings to be darker.
  • Improved thumbnail quality substantially.
  • Added option to share to WhatsApp.
  • Added icons for various platforms' bookmarking & "add to homescreen" functions.
  • Changed the link behavior of thread titles on listings. (if text post or embeddable, link to post, else link out)
  • "Contact the Moderators" email address is now functional.
  • Fixed issue where some threads would reportedly "error submitting comment"
  • Fixed share buttons on mobile.
  • Now remaining logged in throughout updates.
  • Zero downtime updates.
  • Fixed the primary cause of error pages.
  • Fixed issue where profile comment view was case sensitive.

You'll likely have noticed various other changes and fixes over the last few days.

This is our public Trello board where you can see the bugs and features that are being worked on.

Use this thread to note any other bug reports and suggestions that you have.

You can also continue reporting bugs in Discord and elsewhere on the site.

We need decentralized hosting.

loveandchill 91 points ago +91 / -0

Yes! That would make us truly unstoppable!!

We could also perhaps look into organizing a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which we could use for fundraising activities and so much more. It's a totally new capability that hasn't been demonstrated yet, but I know we have the energy to do it!! Let's show em how it's done!

It's actually incredible what they've built. Ethereum isn't ready for real mainstream for a nother 1-3 years, but it would be interesting to see what we can do with it. I have some ideas I'll try to put together in a post.

Yes, because by the time you see a reply, the only way to find it, is to keep paging back to that post (which is usually impossible to find) would be great to click on it and be taken back to the post.

Not really. As long as the domain registrar and DNS server is trustworthy, the actual site host doesn't really matter. Can be moved as necessary. As long as they take frequent backups.

If domain/DNS isn't trustworthy, then nothing else matters. That's why it was so important to move away from GoCommie GoDaddy.

3
wethepepe 3 points ago +3 / -0

> As long as they take frequent backups.

And your backups are local and offsite

Very real threat of "uh, hate thoughts -> "coincidental" ban across multiple services wiping out all access"

flatearther 3 points ago +3 / -0

The current setup uses cloudflare. So in theory, if everything is setup correctly, only cloudflare knows where the server is. So the server is not the weak link, it's the domain name provider and cloudflare. Cloudflare used to be awesome but in the last couple of years they have banned several sites like 8chan.

2
mikeroolz 2 points ago +2 / -0

Honestly the sole weak link is the domain provider. You don't even technically need DDoS protection. It's obviously smart, but as long as you have the domain and can point the DNS to resolve to whatever server (or Clownflare type service) you are using, you're good as far as maintaining access to the website.

Registrar is the main one that has to be trustworthy.

2
trauncher 2 points ago +2 / -0

Run your own authoritative DNS server. its really simple, and cuts one more place where your site can be fucked with.

2
NocturnalPatrol 2 points ago +2 / -0

Decentralized hosting is the only hope for free speech on the internet. Bandwidth is also a problem - because the only video hosting website with the bandwidth to sustain what is needed is Youtube, which is why free speech is about to be snuffed out completely on there, in just a few weeks - but the free market can work miracles, and I'm confident a solution to that will be found.

trauncher 2 points ago +2 / -0

pocketnet.app is trying to build their social media network entirely on a blockchain. anyone can download and run a node... the underlying CC is required to buy advertising on the network, and everyone (users and nodes) gets a little slice of the cash. interesting idea actually.

NocturnalPatrol 2 points ago +2 / -0

Now what is blockchain? I've heard some stuff about it, but I'm not sure what it is.

Look at how Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow) manages karma.

If you downvote you lose points, as does the person related to the item you are downvoting. You get privileges at certain numbers of points. For example you can't downvote if you have less than 100 points.

To keep it simple, just make downvoting lose points, and you can't downvote if you don't have any points. That should keep the lazy shills out, while still allowing downvoting of legitimately bad content.

IMHO that's why Stack Exchange has a really nice set of boards for working with software. The shills and trolls quickly identified or self-destroy their karma.

Aussie_Pede 6 points ago +6 / -0

This is interesting. I like this. Also somewhat gives value to up votes.

4
wethepepe 4 points ago +4 / -0

this is the only other alternative i'd be happy with (apart from just detecting people mass downvoting and disabling it/banning them)

2
Dingus 2 points ago +2 / -0

I love this idea.

6
wethepepe 6 points ago +6 / -0

This is good advice and similar to what i said too

Keep downvotes, write something to detect cucks who a mass downvoting

Absolutely no one on here is authentically downvoting content on a mass scale and anyone that is a low energy jeb(!) bush that need to be deported anyway

What makes this approach hilarious is the only way for these cucks to manipulate thedonald.win with downvotes is to upvote a bunch of content as well

And since thedonald.win is THE DONALD they have to upvote pro trump content

Click on "permalink" and that will take you to a single comment thread of the original post, and from there you can choose to view all comments, etc.

VoterIDMatters 1 point ago +1 / -0

That doesn’t work.

If someone replies to my comment, and I want to see what comment of mine they’re replying to, and I click perks link, it just goes to their comment. There’s no parent button or context button. If I click see full comment thread, I see a giant amount of comments.

I just want to be able to click back through to see what I wrote.

My requests are simple and if there is another way to accomplish them, fill me in...would like to keep 'sort by' at new as my default and be able to open a link automatically in a new tab. I did check the settings tab, not there yet. In the grand scheme of things, these are low priority, the site is functioning and there are more important items to be worked on.

Wish they could find a way to weave the captcha in with the captcha memes:

  • Click on all the presidents
  • Click on the guy who didn’t kill himself
  • Click on the nimble navigator
  • Click on the low energy

Or match the meme picture with the meme phrase: Some tensorflow, some OCR, and multiple choice - that’s reasonably bot-proof ?

MAGAParty247 4 points ago +4 / -0

Would personally love to have RES style feature where you can drag images to enlarge and shrink them, and close them out or collapse them with an "X" instead of having to scroll down past it for comments.

I don't know how feasible this actually is though. If it's something that takes a lot of development time, it's probably not worth it. Just a quality of life change that would make the experience more enjoyable.

I am also one of those people that turns off subreddit styles on Reddit, so an option for a more basic look would be preferable for me. Not sure if that really makes sense considering the difference in structure between Reddit and here.

Both of these features are more like wishlist items and not really something that should happen, but just something I'd personally like.

But one thing I would like and think would be a genuine improvement would be the functionality to drag comment boxes and enlarge them horizontally, not just vertically. It becomes much easier to read and format longer comments when you can drag it out horizontally.

All of these features I want are also geared toward desktop users as well, so I'm not sure how important that is, since most people probably don't view the website on a laptop/desktop. But I don't actually have any data on that, so you guys would be better able to make that call.

1
Drekken 1 point ago +1 / -0

Good ideas.

I would also like to be able to go to the comment chain from a users post or a reply to one of my posts that shows up in the mailbox. You have a bunch of extra clicks to get you where you want to go.
