My migration was primarily driven by threading, voting, and ads.
slashdot ha~~d~~s voting though. In fact I wish we had the same sort of votes slashdot had. up/down votes are so limited :(
I should’ve clarified.
It had post voting, but no comment voting.
Doesn't your screenshot show the opposite?
Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought you could only upvote / downvote posts. Comments were just a thread, and whoever commented first was at the top.
Hence why a lot of our early shitposting was just commenting “first” as soon as an interesting post when live.
Yes, it didn't re-sort by default. You can, however, hide based on score. so kinda?
They also used to (maybe they still do) have meta-moderation where you could flag things as funny or insightful. I always considered that a nice touch but it didn't allow sorting either. .
