it was decent before rs_x got banned, but that sent all the wignats into it, plus all the tards from rdrama who leak in. now it's pretty much only racismposting lol.
That place is just gross men. I don't know where the arthos and gays went to, but they're what made old school rsp what it was. That place bears zero resemblance to it.

Imagine wasting your finite time on Earth posting on the fan site of a podcast hosted by two old used up holes. Chuckling imagining it.
Can't even imagine that

Threaded comment section is useful and clever way of doing things

BBcode is out of fashion and people really want to have a profile picture
I can't help but wonder, why do people keep trying to ape pleddit's UI after they get jointly exiled from it. The way that website is organized is pretty fucking terrible for discourse and website culture, are plebbitards really such beaten wives that they fail to see this?
At least with imageboards you can argue there are some objective(ish) advantages: they are easy to set up (if difficult to moderate), cheap and low maintenance, anonymous and so on.

But that's not even unique to reddit, and frankly the way it's implemented there also sucks since you have to open comment chain in separate window after like fourth reply?

God forbid there be commentary on an internet forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 / images perfectly suit the nested posting format and likes and replies don't have to be literally leddit format.

By this format, do you mean you need to get one upvote in order to give one upvote? Or simply that you need to meet a threshold, kinda like what Reddit does now as a spam filter.
The best solution is Hacker News-like format which requires users to get a certain no. of updoots before they can upvote/downvote themselves
Unfortunately, Paul Graham wrote it in an obscure programming language of his own devising (natch). I never see it re-used elsewhere even though it's free software.
I'm pretty sure thats how RSP works too.

On HN you need to get IIRC 500 upvotes before you can downvote others

HN suffers from a lot of the same shortcomings but it's smaller and has a distinct culture based on real world factors as opposed to a shitty social media company that sought to maximize users regardless of anything else because that's how you get money. That culture is kind of annoying, like TheMotte, but I'd take it over populism with trans oligarchs which is how reddit is.
Nested threading is garbage and saying it's just the mods that make it shit is missing the fact that the system incentives shit mods. It does so by making it technically simple for a very small group to moderate millions on hundreds of subs. That's great for the corporate bottom line which wants to manage as few people as possible paid or not, but it's tantamount to fiefdom.
Sequential threading culture is better because context in everything matters more (you can't just click a button to cut out a conversation on a thread, you have to read through it), which makes it a greater technical challenge to moderate, requiring more people, and their ability to screw things up is more diffuse.
We learned these things in government already and that's why it's so dumb to recapitulate it.
HN is indistinguishable from reddit nowadays
