hello Sup Forums, i come from a Sup Forums background but i am pretty versed in the gentoos so let's talk face to face
as /lgbt/ as this may sound, i am here to tell you what pisses me off and to propose a solution.
take a look at pic related. its what i could find in 2 minutes. but the issue is MUCH broader.
basically most major media outlets are fighting a fight against free commenting. whereever you see a slightly controversial article, the comments are deleted by the thousands.
i mean i would understand if they """flagged""" """offensive""" comments and you'd have to click on it to make it show, as a way to make the general experience """friendly""" (whatever that may mean). but they are blatantly deleting and censoring the comments.
>inb4 this is to prevent spam
i understand some comments might be spam or off topic. but if the sites internal voting system gives the comment 30 "stars" or whatever, it's not fucking spam, gtfo telling me what i can or cannot read
---
anyways, this """idea""" has been lingering in the back of my head for several years (which means its not a fad but still urgently needed), its blatantly simple and most likely exists in some for or another but i came here to gather some opinons on how to best design some system like this.
basically we would want a system that is
1) separate from nytimes/gawker/reddit/facebook/etc.
2) but allows people to comment on particular content on nytimes/gawker/reddit/facebook/etc.
3) has one of the common ""selection"" systems to filter out spam/shitposts/bait, for EXAMPLE reddit-type voting system (its an EXAMPLE you goddamn faggots, i know this particular system is an echo chamber for popular faggot opinions)
i mean we need something like disqus but hosted separately, not embedded in the website itself.
this would tilt the momentum back into our hands, because at the moment, the globalist media owners and goverment censors are winning.
