Funny how not wanting people to get summarily executed by the police is considered "radical left".

Encouraging violence on a forum intended for cat pictures seems pretty radical to me i'm all for revolution, my best friend is actually a bolshevik, just don't use non-political medium to push some agenda

>the encouragement of violence

Can you link to some examples? If anything my experience is opposite. I saw a highly upvoted post on /r/all denouncing someone who was pro "white genocide".

> on a forum intended for cat pictures seems pretty radical to me

Is reddit "intended" for cat pictures? It might be the reason that you joined, or the content that you liked, but the default subs[1] cover a wide range of topics, not just cat pictures and memes.

"radical left propaganda" what like wanting health care and a clean environment for everyone?

no, like anti-police, pro-riots bullshit

I don't see anti police...I see police critique when it is lacking.

I also don't see pro-riot anywhere...have any references for any of this? I am on reddit all the time...

What was your intent behind adopting the "Tweetdeck" style of UI for this presentation? Tweetdeck's intent is supposedly that you'd need to be monitoring multiple feeds efficiently (e.g. you are a social media manager with multiple accounts, or you need live-updating search queries to react to).

For Reddit though, most of the time subreddits aren't really meant to be consumed "live", or many-posts-at-once, which means that for me, this ultimately just ends up shrinking my Reddit browsing experience into a thin column surrounded by content I don't care about at the current moment, which goes against the "efficiency" that I imagine this design is intended for.

For folks who like this style of UI, what do you get out of it?

I like it because I can see multiple feeds in a single page without clicking and loading more pages.

I really hate mobile first whitespace trend of modern designs (not talking about reddit here).

great work, too bad reddit is becoming a political propaganda machine

The last few times I’ve been to reddit /r/all was just full of news about Donald Trump. As someone that doesn’t really get current American politics I’m just so confused at how people don’t get tired of it. Like I get it, fill the front page for a few days in 2016... but its like every day... all the time... I just want cute pictures of cats... can’t we just have 1 happy place.

I live in America and trust me we are pretty fucking tired of it too.

Its amazing how far backwards reddit went. In browser on desktop it's incredibly slow, even just clicking the comment box to write takes a few seconds and lags out for no reason. No doubt they're employing an uber amount of user tracking and all manner of inefficient code.
