    Embedding for Tiktok videos

    *hides

    • How about we compromise and add embedding for Instagram?CyBrainX
    • the thing with tiktok is it doesn't have written content - the actual knowledge
      it's a time waster, while on instagram you can save posts

      instagram > tiktok

    About that ignore functionality... .

  • SteveJobs-7

    In my opinion, people put way too much emphasis on downvotes here. However there does seem to be a lot of retaliatory downvoting toward those less popular, regardless of the quality of their posts. Perhaps a little accountability could help lessen this?


    This would also be a better quantified tally of votes as well as equal numbers of upvotes and downvotes are cancelled out and never 'seen'.

    • Downvoted.
      Call my secretary.
      palimpsest
    • Equal numbers of downvotes and upvote are cancelled out.
      0 + 1 - 1 = 0
      palimpsest
    • Downvotes keep trolls in check. Not that it was a bastion of high-level conversation, but Youtube comments took a deep dive in 2015(?) when they removed..garbage
    • ..downvotes. Negative feedback is necessary.garbage
    • those numbers are overratedsted
    • The real question is why are you downvoting grafican when everybody else is upvoting him?palimpsest
    • garbage, I don't disagree and my suggestion wasn't meant to imply otherwise.SteveJobs
    • palimpsest, wanted to demonstrate net effect of votes but didn't want to offend anyone by putting someone else's name as the downvoter ;)SteveJobs
    • Just remove downvotes all together because half the time stuff is apparently downvoted for the sake of it as far as I can tell.kalkal
    • Make voting great againfadein11
    • The system is useless if it doesn't promote the posts in some way.

      It was funny when some of my downvoted posts still ended up on the front page
      grafician
    • Your front page posts got downvoted, there's a difference.
      The system works you just need to know how to work it.
      palimpsest
    • I don't intend to "work the system" in any way, just making observations

      Some around here take QBN very seriously

      It's just a forum, grow up :)

    • Others don't care about downvotes.palimpsest
  • zaq0

    It looks like this community's agenda is moving from Politics/porn to Creative.
    How about there is a thread such as QBN Launchpad?
    Where we can post work that QBN member release for themselves, not for clients (Show your recent work ..).

    For example, jasonabc published children's illustration book https://www.qbn.com/reply/403651…
    or microkorg NFT collection,
    or SimonFFM published a coffee table book.

    It would be great, to visit this thread once in a while to see what is some of you up to. We can also support each other.

    • Make it and they will come.

      In their pants if that's their thing.

    • a “personal works” thread isn’t a bad idea but i think many folks do put that stuff in “recent works” or “works in progress”scarabin

    Hear me out everybody. Please, just hear me out.

    I had in my plans to learn Python to datamine QBN and create a virtual copy that would be QBN with extra features. All content would always come from QBN but with added features like the ones y'all request. Like an exoskeleton for QBN. Free.
    Turns out, I ain't trying to do all that.

    But my question is. Is QBN OK with it?
    Nobody would be bugging you with requests.

    • qbnpro.comrenderedred
    • They banned me from there too.palimpsest
    • Back in the day, we built our own bookmarking systems. We've lost the beauty of working with our hands, man.palimpsest
    • Python for this really?
      lol
      just httrack the site down and write some grep scripts to get the data like i did few years ago.
      sted
    • and no its a shitty idea.sted
    • I don't care how it's done. Just look at the posts and comments on this thread. This would benefit everybody.palimpsest
    • 'look at me!'fadein11
    • benefit how?sted
    • By implementing individual features for each user without changing the content. We're all looking at the same thing but with a different perspective.palimpsest
    • And this would take the load off QBN. If they see a feature they like they get in touch with QBNer and add it to qbn.com.palimpsest
    • Merge into master, if you're the BDSM type.palimpsest
    • Everybody stays in their own comfy home they've built for themselves and yet they can still interact with the other(s).palimpsest
    • "implementing individual features for each user" this is way too abstract to apply on a a closed for the purpose system.sted
    • post+note function gives the simplicity of this system, everything else is just complicates things.sted
    • I have always like the simplicity of the system and it has proven to stand the test of time: because of the content.
      I'm listening to the needs of the people.
      palimpsest
    • I don't want to change QBN. I want people to enjoy it as they imagine it would be better.palimpsest
    • yeah I understand that, describe some examples maybe?sted
    • I give you my old one:
      create a browser extension what makes possible to embed various sites/contents by using specialized phrases around the urls
      sted
    • like this:
      [coub] https://coub.com/vie…
      sted
    • *the extension does the embed for the specific content.sted
    • We can kinda do it with extensions it would be better to see it implemented in a system.
      Some examples would be: The ability to create post collections.
      palimpsest
    • All the ideas are in this thread. Ideally QBN would feed us the data as they see fit. But imagine they don't have the time. So this was a workaround.palimpsest
    • Go learn and figure out Python first and then get back to us.utopian

    • I’m not talking ban, just lose the thread since it’s clearly devolved into a lazy hate-fest. No discussion.Gnash
    • Don’t we post offensive anti-Christianity stuff in the Religion thread too but when it happens in the Muslim thread many want the QBN police to step in.NBQ00

    • I really don’t care about trolling posts. I can ignore them easily enoughGnash

    • but being racist and stereotyping is again something else. like being ignorant is also something else.oey_oey

    • b) we are open to discuss everything I guess but in which way is this constructive or relevant?oey_oey
    • okay, I go back to my taxes.oey_oey
    • The thread is full of lazy stereotypes. One can criticize religion with being racist and gross.Gnash
    • Without*Gnash
    • Look at the beginning of the thread. Discussion. Even when someone made a remark out of ignorance it was still fruitful discussionGnash
    • I’m not saying everyone’s posts need to preach the same point of view. Just have a discussionGnash
    • This thread went sourGnash

    How about an *I did this* checkbox when broadcasting?
    Everyone can then see that you made it, whatever it is and on posts in any thread.

    Profiles could display a Qber's ratio of total vs 'made' posts.
    And no doubt they'd get shit for having a low score.

    Soz if this has been posted before.
