Nice try whoaverse.com

[–]SleepyDerp 76 ポイント77 ポイント

Holy fucking shit, that website is unbelievable.

How does one do that without hiding in shame.

[–]LarcusMywood 18 ポイント19 ポイント

Reddit is open source, there's nothing wrong with what they're doing.

[–]themightymartin 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Nothing legally wrong maybe...

[–]ronaldinjo 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Also those Linux distros are embarrassing because some look similar to each other.

[–]TRAIN_WRECK_0 1 ポイント2 ポイント

No nothing wrong. Reddit would be foolish to put their source code out there and not expect others to build on it. The only problem I see is that the layout is an exact replica. The rest is written in C++.

[–]WizKid_ 20 ポイント21 ポイント

How does one do that without hiding in shame.

all their source code can be found here

[–]Bashlet 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Actually, whoaverse is entirely coded in C++. It just uses the reddit stylesheet as a placeholder.

EDIT: To those interested in seeing a redesign I'm working on to get the whole looks like reddit sentiment out of mind, check this out.

EDIT: C# is nice too. Words.

[–]ThatSteeve 3 ポイント4 ポイント

You seem to have a lot of... insight into the operations.... ;P

[–]Bashlet 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Aha, I have been doing a bunch of CSS over there. It's fun watching a community grow, and I can have more of an impact on shaping the way the site functions than I can here on reddit. Small can be great.

[–]ThatSteeve 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Heh. That's cool. Small pond big fish & all.

I think most just weren't aware that reddit source is avail in general do the 'cloning' was even more shocking. Even if on a different code base. It'd take a hell of a lot more than a look-a-like to unseat reddit.

Small can be great.

Brutha/Sistah, I've been singing that song my whole life!

[–]Bashlet 0 ポイント1 ポイント

There's a lot going on over there. Really, even if just for the experiment of it all, I'd check back on it from time to time to see how things are changing. I have a feeling that Atko, the only developer of that site has some strong ambitions. Only time will tell.

But why trust me, I am a lowly CSS writer and comic book author who tries to dream big.

[–]ThatSteeve 0 ポイント1 ポイント

It's sounds like you're impugning CSS & comic book authors...

I'm one of those dolts that trusts until given a reason not to. [canadian]

Side note: any of your work, comic, online?

[–]Bashlet 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Nah, my comic is of the paper variety with issues that have barely circulated my extended friends.

Though, I am also of the Canadian breed, so happy Canada day my friend!

[–]thaw12 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Huh? It looks like C#.

[–]Bashlet 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Sometimes I words wrong.

[–]eduardog3000 13 ポイント14 ポイント

It's ok, they switched the vote colors and use /v/ instead of /r/.

[–]ronaldinjo 5 ポイント6 ポイント

It's open source and nothing to be ashamed of.

[–]metaphoricalworm 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Lol, it's even worse than hubski

[–]zachhile -1 ポイント0 ポイント

It seems like a bunch of defeners over there.

Just came here from reddit too. I hope that this place can be like reddit was long ago; thought and discussion provoking. Not like that desperate dash for fake internet points I just left.

Actual quote

[–]immoralatheist 21 ポイント22 ポイント

Hey, at least they still show the upvotes/downvotes and not "(?|?)."

[–]liquidDinner 3 ポイント4 ポイント

To be fair, Reddit never showed the ups/downs.

[–]ASS_KRACKERS 6 ポイント7 ポイント

It did if you had RES.

[–]alphabeat 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Yeah if you're drinking fuzzed number koolaid

[–]ASS_KRACKERS 2 ポイント3 ポイント

To be fair, the percentage upvoted and downvoted that showed without RES before the update was fuzzed as well.

[–]liquidDinner 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Right, and I am, but I can't get mad at reddit for not supporting a feature they never designed in the first place. It's the risk developers run when building off of an API, and the risk we inherit as users.

[–]ASS_KRACKERS 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I know. I'm not complaining about it. It doesn't even make that big a difference to me even though I do use RES. I've found the amount of whining site-wide about the update to be extremely unsettling and immature. It's just like when Facebook updates and everyone complains about it for a week, but then they defend the update they claimed to hate when the next update comes around.

[–]datafucker[S] 16 ポイント17 ポイント

I am literally Atko

[–]Lycanfire 11 ポイント12 ポイント

atko got really gloomy the moment he found out about the surge in traffic from reddit. you must be the side of him that wants him to eat ice cream while watching old movies.

[–]datafucker[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント

He was gloomy when he found out the reason there was a surge in traffic. He wasnt ready for all those people to come yet.

[–]Lycanfire 6 ポイント7 ポイント

more like wasn't ready for the first group last week.... at this point i'd be happy to know if he did have ice cream.

[–]SPESSMEHREN 21 ポイント22 ポイント

The OP is a part of a massive shilling campaign /r/conspiracy planned for today to try and get people to leave reddit for it. So you're not that far off.

[–]eduardog3000 5 ポイント6 ポイント

/v/conspiracy

[–]masterofstuff124 11 ポイント12 ポイント

shilling- a former British coin and monetary unit equal to one twentieth of a pound or twelve pence.

[–]Rowannn 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Right?

[–]masterofstuff124 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Maybe shelling. SHELLY!!SHELLLY!!!!!!

[–]PlacentaSandwich 1 ポイント2 ポイント

It worked for Facebook. RIP in peace MySpace.

[–]IAMAVelociraptorAMA 5 ポイント6 ポイント

His posting history includes /r/conspiracy and serious /r/hailcorporate posts... lmao

[–]JakeTheSnake0709 4 ポイント5 ポイント

/r/conspiracy

Fuck.

[–]nikobzombie -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Can we just get rid of /r/conspiracy ?

[–]EdgarAllanNope 0 ポイント1 ポイント

[–]subignition -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Nice try, we all know you're really just in cahoots with OP to try and drive traffic to that sub...

[–]PLEASE_TAG_ME 0 ポイント1 ポイント

At least they don't have (?|?).

They have actual numbers!
