RE: LET'S TALK ABOUT PALnet: I've mixed thoughts so far; what is your first impression?

in #palnet7 years ago (edited)

nah, I think palnet only counts root-comments exclusive of the replies under those where steemit simply counts all comments... the number of comments actually shown under the posts is the same unless there's comments by users that are on palnet's own black-list, but that's a different matter

Sort:  

That's exactly what it is. I actually prefer Palnet's way. I can sit under a post and have a 100 comment conversation with one person. That's 100 comments but who the hell wants to hear me talking about ducks? Or whatever. Spaghetti dinners. Palnet shows everyone 35 different folks paid me a visit today. What could be happening there? They'll wonder. Far superior that way over Steemit's way.

I hadn't even looked at it that way... but you're right... the way it's shown, palnet is actually giving the more relevant information here

Yes indeed. If Steemit switched to that I would not be upset at all. I'd be impressed.

Hi @fraenk

I'm not sure what do you mean. How would it be more relevant information? I'm failing to understand.

I was actually just agreeing with @nonameslefttouse's statement above.

I've quoted him again for you here, because it's probably not that easy to keep track of every thread while replying to all those many comments you've received as a result of your proxy sending out those advertisement-pennies. ;)

The key is that the SCOTtribe-condenser shows how many different comment threads are in a post as compared to a simple counter of all comments in the default steemit condenser.

Hi @fraenk

Thank you for your kind reply.

I understand that you agreed with mentioned user. However I'm simply failing to see things the way you guys do. I like to see real number of upvotes and comments :)

Also current way will surely cause more confusion. Simply because no other social media does count comments the way Palnet does.

It surely is time consuming, however its fun to read all comments and engage with people like yourself.

Very possible fraenk!

Dear @fraenk

Thank you for your comment. Indeed, you seem to be right. Appreciate.

It is very confusing and current "counter" doesn't seem to make any sense to me. Try to explain to anyone new why does it say that you've 5 comments while reality is that there are (example) 10. It does look a bit misleading and confusing.

Again, big thx.

Yours
Piotr
