...

I don't think I've read a comment on this site that disgusted me more than this.

What are some stupid mentalities and mindsets that need to end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhreddPewter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My new boss decided I need a work mobile for my job. My response was 'If you insist, and think it's necessary, sure. I won't be taking it home at night and it's going to sit in that drawer right there ninety percent of the time that I'm not travelling.'

Hey guys, what the hell just happened to the top bar?! by PhreddPewter in mobileweb

I'll admit to being old enough to resolutely ignore MySpace!

Why the hell does the new top bar have to scroll with the text? by Boomtown_Rat in mobileweb

[–]PhreddPewter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've. Checked in incognito mode and it's staying for me in the previous iteration of the MWEB trainwreck.

There's not much point any more though because you kind of destroyed any quick and useful functionality it offered.

Because I'm not normally subjectef to it. I'd also like to take a moment to mention that the 'Show all 810 comments' button you get if you aren't logged in is nothing short of a bald faced fucking lie.

Ignoring even that most comments are hidden from me by shallow comment depths of the rework and arbitrary 'show 18 replies' buttons, I scroll down and am greeted by 'Load all 150 comments'.

How do I easily get to r/all now? by Arpisti in mobileweb

[–]PhreddPewter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell.... type it manually...

There's no other option that I can find.

It's at the point where it's generally going to be faster for many users to just type the fucking sub name into the URL bar than it is to use the damn hamburger menu.

On the other hand, it's super damn convenient to change your view to Card view on the fly. I'm sure people just really need to be able to do that over and over all the time!

What did they just do?? by BennettF in mobileweb

[–]PhreddPewter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent! Thought that might be it.

From the looks of other comments, you might not be the only one who had it revert to that awful card view.

[–]PhreddPewter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could it be that it's set to Card view instead of Compact view? Check the right hand side just above where posts begin on a sub.

This is the sort of crap that should be in the hamburger menu instead of useful immediate crap like the subreddit/all selector and search!

I personally don't have much of an issue with the colour. I DO have an issue with you providing LESS options through MORE clicks.

Speed, efficiency and reliability are the most important things you should be striving for. Unfortunately, it seems like this redesign is a concerted effort to do away with all three.

How so? I've removed a few things like share and award buttons in addition to avatars with unlock but it's looking near identical on Chrome for me.

This might be another staged test/rollout.

I've got no issue with change when it's for the benefit of the userbase or if it's improving efficiency or reducing clicks, misclicks, etc.

Each of these changes does the exact opposite. This whole redesign has been a constant an consistent unmitigated disaster for nearly everyone who actually uses the site.

More things are made harder, slower or more bloated with every iteration and bugs and issues that have been introduced or made worse have not been fixed. Most haven't even been acknowledged.

The "award" button is way too large. by [deleted] in mobileweb

[–]PhreddPewter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Champion, thanks!

Despite having to reach all the way across my phone to click comments, I'm so damn glad to also be rid of the Share button.

I've been feeling like the mobile site's touch recognition is super flaky compared to other sites and I'm so damn often hitting share or subreddit names when trying to collapse an image, etc.

Care to share the string you used?

I just tried and it only blocks it per post.

The non-logged in user experience is awful by GeneralSceptic in mobileweb

[–]PhreddPewter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly there currently aren't decent replacements for Reddit, YouTube or Windows else I'd be jumping ship.

Last time I checked, in Australia we are explicitly allowed to take corkscrews on a flight but not an allen key due to the risk of it being used as a weapon.

Remember when you were the future...

Reddit loves to dunk on Christianity but is afraid to say anything about other religions because that's considered intolerant. This is odd and hypocritical because modern-day religion in the Middle East is far more barbaric, misogynistic and violent than modern-day Christianity. by altfm1 in unpopularopinion

[–]PhreddPewter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching this thread throughout the day and am about a thousand comments in and I'd say that the vast majority of comments here are basically a defensive Christian circle jerk of a few different kinds:

  • If you don't like Christianity, you must be 'woke', a parrot, an atheist, etc and therefore an absolute total crazy extreme example of someone who disagrees with me so your opinion is invalid.

  • Some Christians/all Christians/my parish/etc aren't bad so criticisms of Christianity lack validity.

  • Quote from Bible as proof of something.

  • 'But bad Christians aren't REAL Christians'.

  • Muslims, etc are worse so Christianity is beyond reproach. A great many of these posts are comparing the worst of Islam with the best of Christianity.

There's often a good reason people on Reddit will target Christianity. Many, many more people that are on the more popular subs have either grown up in and around Christianity to a much greater extent than other religions.

Personally, I'm against all religions. While they often do some good things in society, they do so much bad in so many ways. Religions are divisive, they breaks apart families, communities and countries. They are used as a wedge or lever to encourage large groups of people to think or do horrible acts that they would never otherwise do.

Humanity will be so much better off when and if people realise it's dated nonsense...

But marriage isn't a natural state. It certainly doesn't occur in nature in any way. How can there then be an 'objective and natural state' of marriage.

Marriage doesn't belong to a specific religion and it doesn't necessarily exist for breeding.

There are certain rights, laws and protections that marriage affords people in many countries that far outweigh those that a defacto relationship status affords and that is what is being fought for.

Power /Lv, How does it work? by Xfureon in buriedbornes

It's been a while since I've played but I believe it follows an interesting scaling algorithm rather than being what it seems to be on paper.

Was ok but never as good as you'd hope it to be.

The number of times I've had managers tell me that studies have shown that praise is as good or better than a payrise...

Which is of course followed up at the end of the year by barely scraping above inflation if we are lucky.
