CNN VS SaidIt.net

Observe how news media treat story like this. https://time.com - first page, main story, no photos https://www.reuters.com - no mention https://apnews.com - first page, 2nd block in list, no photos https://www.nytimes.com - second page, tiny block in list, no photos https://www.washingtonpost.com - second page, tiny block, no photos https://www.theguardian.com/world - no mention https://www.aljazeera.com - first... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

If it's any consolation, it was top billing on cnn.com yesterday, which is where I first saw it. Entire top left of the screen was the woman's face and a huge headline. Now it's buried in a couple lines below the (digital) fold. Source: 5 months ago

Try and force the page by entering a url in the browser such as cnn.com . Also, try loading a full browser and trying to surf. What type of phone are you on? Source: 5 months ago

FWIW, I had to disable the Wipr content filtering on cnn.com to see the web site. Guess I'll get my news fix from wapo.com, now. Source: 5 months ago

I don't know what EasyList or uBlock are (i.e., I don't use those), but I got blocked by cnn.com as well. Firefox on Mac. Turns out it was the "I don't care about cookies" extension (automatically accept consent requests). Once I disabled that for cnn, it worked again. Source: 5 months ago

Perhaps. I am looking at https://saidit.net/, Quora, and other platforms as well. Source: 11 months ago

What's the criteria you'd need to be met for "something comparable"? Because I'd say running our own https://saidit.net/ site would be pretty identical. Source: 11 months ago

I love IRC but it serves a slightly different purpose. It isn't threaded and it sacrifices permanency for instantaneousness. In my opinion, a forums and chat rooms compliment each other. Saidit is one good Reddit alternative that implements IRC. It's based on Reddit's code but with some modifications. Every page has an embedded IRC box specific to that subcommunity.

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing). Source: 11 months ago

Someone already did it - it's called saidit and it works well but very few people have gone there so far. Source: 11 months ago
