So, everyone who uses Disqus is being forced to use the "new" 2012 form of it. Which forces downvotes and threading on people. I hate both upvotes and downvotes -- downvotes are worse, but I find the whole concept inimical to discussion. (And really bad for people who are semi-addicted to praise. It's like waiting for those "A"s all over again.) I can deal with threading fine, but I know a lot of people can't. But there is something even more important than these things, which no one using Disqus has ever seemed to care about: IT IS BUGGY AS HELL.
Disqus has always been buggy as hell. I don't foresee it ever being anything but buggy as hell. The product does not bloody work. Why must people keep adopting something that doesn't work? Haven't we all been here long enough to demand that new shineys actually work before using them? Well, Geocities seems to be rising from the tomb on Tumblr, and various other websites and internet programs are doing that "cool", "clean" thing of hiding their tools that people figured out a long time ago does not work. Wake me up when we're no longer in 1997. Gah.
Oh and also for some reason Dsqus on Slacktivist is making me nauseous. It doesn't do this on, say, Tony Ortega's blog. Something in the settings, the font, I dunno. Well, I was going to try to stop reading the comments and commenting there anyway, I guess this makes it that much easier.
