    Please can Elon buy QBN and give us an edit button.

    Make it time limited to 1minute after a post is submitted - to correct typos.

    • Wait until Elon finds out that there is only 23 active users with 127 usernames per user, and 6,789 users that have been canceled in 2022 alone.utopian
    • QBN = the last online free speech frontierKrassy
    • lol@Krassy until it gets a mute button right? :Dsted

    • Wouldn’t this just cause a bigger echo chamber?Chimp
    • @Chimp how so?Krassy
    • @Krassy we would block those who have opposing views. As much as some are total cunts it’s good to have some opposing views.Chimp
    • I’m with Chimp on this.mort_
    • Plus, seems like we’d end up with a lot more disjointed conversations.mort_
    • the muting would be a per user preference; not a site-wide censorship . E.g., I would choose to mute anything by user X. Everyone else gets to read X.Krassy
    • Yeah I've never used it. Calling out fools is half the fun, and anything else just creates an information silo.garbage
    • Yeah, that’s what I imagined. But still you would see gaps in conversations where user x contributed.mort_
    • ignore...this post.oey_oey
    • @Krassy, I'm going to mute you if you don't agree with my pov on not having mute functions.Chimp
    • @Chimp I don't see your comment cause you're muted for a weekKrassy
    • oh noes! muh discourse!? I don't give a fuck what most of you clapped-out contrarians say. Give me the filter so I can hide that shite.face_melter

    If someone gets banned for racist comments (like babysick just did) it would be cool if his gravestone didn’t say “in loving memory of” because fuck that guy

    Should be more like “user was an asshole, and not the good kind of asshole. May ye fuck off and never come back”

    • Also please manually bold any Design threadsnb
    • Highlighting or filtering by design threads would be a good idea.Chimp
    • Wait, there was a new ban? Did I miss another meltdown?lemmy_k
    • Nah no meltdown. Just a casual inappropriate comment that crossed a line. I’m sure that user thinks he’s being funny sighnb
    • The only question left is “Does the Designer Drugs thread count as a Design Thread?” I think yeahnb
    • derp ban one of the only reasons to come on herekingsteven

    Embedding for Tiktok videos

    • 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

    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
    • Yeah, sounds like a recent work thread.lemmy_k
    • Yeah, we have that. It's the thread where Simon and DopePope get all the love.CyBrainX

  • 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
  • akiersky-2

    Pull "Search" out of the hamburger menu.

    Maybe "Broadcast" too, put it under the topic list.

    delete the Muslim thread. there is no discussion going on there. it's an embarrassment

    • yup_niko
    • As someone almost borderline racist against Muslims (and all other adherents of other religions), I agree. Shit fuckwit memes are of negative value here.Nairn

    • Thread is too polluted to saveGnash
    • yep you may be right, for once we may agree.fadein11
    • Yeah Bindegal posts some whacky stuff but it doesn’t qualify for a ban. Get a thicker skin on the interwebz, people.NBQ00
    • cancel that shitGuyFawkes
    • we walk on eggshells hereGuyFawkes
    • 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
    • Bitch about the Islamic religion all you want. I’ve no issue with that.Gnash
    • You’re right, nbq. The x’ian stuff is often just as bad.Gnash
    • ‘Christians are child molesters’ vs ‘Muslims are goat fuckers’ same diffGnash
    • haven't seen a christian fucking a goat in the Christian thread yet but okfadein11
    • how about we just delete religionfadein11
    • some Christians are lunatics, some Muslims are lunatics, most aren't. This is more about toxic trolls. well it is for me.fadein11
    • there have got to be Christian sheep fuckers somewheremonospaced
    • I think there's some differences about being critical, making jokes, offending, etc...oey_oey
    • besides if I would be a christian I guess if I made a joke or criticized it at least I know something about it.oey_oey
    • I really don’t care about trolling posts. I can ignore them easily enoughGnash
    • it's easier to criticize something one doesn't understand or at least view it in a negative way.oey_oey
    • but being racist and stereotyping is again something else. like being ignorant is also something else.oey_oey
    • theoretically I could criticize all religions but what do I know about them? which right do I have to criticize something I don't have a clue about?oey_oey
    • just asking.oey_oey
    • We'll meet you halfway, QBN. Rename it 'The Identitarian Thread'.palimpsest
    • my questions would be a) how is this thread relevant in a design forum?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
    • I can obviously just not click it anymore. Which I already do with other threads I’m not a fan of.Gnash

    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
