Announcing RPAN, a limited-time live broadcasting experience

>2. Remove the RPAN icon from the top bar on the redesign, or at least grey it out so it doesn't look like a notification. That was the intention. They wanted people to click on it.

Thank you - this is helpful feedback! If you have other thoughts as you use RPAN, we've set up a new community, r/PAN, to collect feedback, understand pain points, answer questions and find ways to improve the experience.

>It's only on mobile? Why!?! so that you have to use the official app. they can't datamine your desktop browser like they can your phone!

This is a great point. Apologies for not having this for RPAN and thanks for surfacing this to us.

This. Some people might be interested in it, but I'm not. So why is it at the top of my feed and in big, orange, obnoxious letters on the top bar? Let people who are interested subscribe to the sublistnook, and let people who aren't ignore it. Like everything else on listnook. Don't force it on all of us.

Or perhaps an ability to burn it to the ground?

Yeah, while I personally want it on to begin with so I don't forget about it, it's pretty annoying if you don't want it there.

On another account I suggested this in /r/beta and the thread was full of numpties saying "dont tell a website what to do, besides *I* like the feature so why should *anyone* be given the option to remove it?"

On the old listnook there's nothing about this. Which is kind of nice, as I joined listnook because I was interested in it because it provided a broader forum-like experience. I guess the point of this is moving listnook towards a more "mainstream social media" experience: You got the active banning/quarantine of several communities, the changes on the layout of listnook (The horrible "new listnook") the addition of a profile with followers, and this, which seems to be something close to the Instagram stories or the Whatsapp statuses. Listnook team want money, because this is a company, and someone has thought that the best way to make more money is keeping the very core of what made listnook unique and interesting and bring features from other social media platforms to attract more mainstream public. imho, they will fail with this, but as long as I can just ignore them, use RES, subscribe to the weird shit I enjoy, and keep my alt p*** account as is, they can add whatever the f*** they want. At least until they pass out old listnook and/or the memekids invade all the smaller sublistnooks. Whatever happens first.

>"Why did you do this" Their marketing team says streaming is In™ and represents a positive profit increase that counterbalances them ditching it in 3 weeks.

Listnook is turning into other social media sites to get more advertising money. I'd like to recommend /r/tildes or www.tildes.net. Made by an old admin and has a smaller and better feel.

can't wait to see what happens in these next 4 days. cannot f****** wait

8 - were you too busy to notice the livestream mosque shooting?! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/13/christchurch-call-details-emerge-of-arderns-plan-to-tackle-online-extremism

.8. Hire a (different) external marketing consulting firm. Users don't come here for this, the niche is already over filled, everyone who greenlit this should lose office status and have their ideas second-guessed from now until the next big screw-up

Becuase listnook is run by morons.

They are doing this to turn Listnook into a social network. Its all about keep users on the site which means having all services covered. Photos, videos, live. They started around August 2015 and will culminate with the gutting of third party apps, killing the old look and reducing or removing adult content. Note how this new feature is not for nsfw stuff... As I said a year ago. https://www.listnook.com/r/pan/comments/csjqqy/_/exfdhtw

Dude the sound of the livestream is going on literally all the time I have the app open now wtf it’s freaky

Get Listnook is Fun for android to avoid this c***.

Using the Listnook app created by Listnook was your first mistake.

The official Listnook app is trash. I've been using Bacon Reader for six years....but I think it's Android only. Use an unofficial app, the experience is way better.

Yeah it’s annoying how much listnook is trying to become Facebook. I don’t care about profiles, or adding friends, or following accounts. I don’t want to watch Facebook live or have snapchat filters. I want t*** and memes. Is that too much to ask?

If they really want to compete and differentiate themselves, make a NSFW RPAN. I mean. I’m sure it would be 90 percent dicks. But at least it’d be different. Not that I would ever watch such a thing though...

Because it will serve ads.

They lied? That's what marketing is about.

Personally I wish all the announcement posts got automatically pinned to the front of your feed for a bit. I've missed a few that got downvoted because people weren't happy with the announcement. And that sucks because even if the announcement is unpopular or something I don't like, I want to be aware of changes to the site.

Got to cash in on that tiktok / twitch money

I'm predicting some black mirror episode one type shit to come from this...

You'll get mod tools as soon as they figure out how to run ads on them.

Holy shit... this f****** site is going to trash in record time

Holy corporate buzzword batman that is an impressive job description.... Like I honestly believe a robot auto-generated it

Looked like a ton of cat stuff to me, so there goes my "interest" in whatever this was.

Downvote those hipsters to oblivion if you do see them

They're releasing it now for Internet Explorer users.

It's an out-of-season April Fools joke

Right? I can't remember a worse day for comments not loading, upvotes not registering, and posts not uploading at all than yesterday. I get problems come up, but can't you at least let us know?

Who cares about basic site functionality still being broken when there's streaming video to shoehorn, right?

If you were able to easily search for something, reposters couldn't say "I LoOkEd BuT dIdNt SeE iT" over and over and over. Reposts are what keep the low-quality default subs alive (looking at you pics,funny,etc)

As poorly as the rest of listnook, looks like.

Now spam some shitty emojis in there and it'll be full twitch.

I mean they added chat, user profiles, ability to follow users, redesigned the front page to mimic the Facebook feed, etc.

Spamming it with crude stuff is probably the only way they'll enable things like being able to hide it fully.

I tried it and got someone advertising their instagram and the next video was a person taking a shit.

I find your generalization offensive!!

RES + uBlock Origin + Old Listnook, the banner shouldn't appear anymore. If it still does, right-click and select 'Block element...' The one good thing I can say about RPAN, at least, right now, is that it is totally optional and your experience with Listnook won't be affected if you just pretend it doesn't exist.

Legit one of the worst ideas I've seen in the last few years. Livestreams! But instead of being able to choose your favorite personality and enjoy your time there, make it f****** random and unintuitive and then add a twitch chat *but without any of the f****** jokes*. Ha ha, so random, just f****** random livestreams boy. Like imgur on PCP yeeeeah.

Partially correct. Before his departure to focus on other matters I believe Alexis referred to it as a more community driven version of Facebook [needs a reference, I'll dig around for it]. Facebook in-kind responded with testing upvote tech on their comments. We've seen movement that would suggest this is indeed the case; heavier content moderation (though still much lighter than FB or Insta), hosting images and videos, following other users, posting to your user profile instead of a sublistnook, and now a live streaming test. Heck even the "Best" tab is a version of the News Feed, designed to surface content the website thinks you'll like and "Popular" is like everyone's News Feed jammed into one. I like Listnook how it is, but understand that to win in today's market they need to change and update (sorry spez I'm still not a fan of the redesign). Unfortunately that means probably they will no longer be a link sharing and discussion website, just the same as Google has made it incredibly difficult to find a website in a search result these days without clicking on an ad.

The average listnookor's patience.

\*Cuts to guy streaming child p*** for 4 hours before it's taken down.*

Since you almost exclusively post to gun based sublistnooks and guns are a political issue right now it's hardly surprising you come across a lot of political posts.
