Can We have bitcointalk user interface changed to something like Facebook UI?

[Theb]

Coming from a guy who only joined three days ago I think you aren't just comfortable with the current BCT's interface right now. If you have an idea of what a forum style website looks like Bitcointalk has one of the most organized and straightforward interface out there compared to what others have been offering. And after some time and you aren't still comfortable with BCT then you are always welcome on leaving the forum and joining one of those cryptocurrency Facebook  hype groups which has nothing close to offer what BCT have.

What makes you think Bitcointalk would work well with Facebook's UI?

Delusions and/or serious brand loyalty to Facebook, which I find sickening.

I love the old school user interface here.  It's so insanely simple to use and does exactly what it's supposed to do without having so many god-awful features to confuse the attention-deficit kiddos (and myself).  Frankly I hope the new software never comes out and the look never changes one iota.  It's been this way since the beginning if I'm not mistaken, and at the very least it's the same since I got here 4 years ago.  I'm not crazy about change when it comes to websites I visit frequently.

no need to change anything here. if someone wants to have fb UI, then you can gladly go to fb. this is what this forum sets apart from the rest. very simple yet very useful. we dont need good aesthetic features to serve the purpose of this forum

Being like Facebook shouldn't be an aspiration. It's a corporate data-vampire hell buried beneath an aggressively friendly veneer. Honestly whichever way Facebook goes, you're best going in the opposite direction.

This forum is simple and functional. It's fine as it is.

Will Libra be able to replace Bitcoin? I believe it won't. So, I don't think we should ask the question in OP, because both Facebook and its coins, Libra are worse than bitcointalk.org, and Bitcoin, respectively. Facebook platform also does not have good systems to control their quality of their community posts. Actually, they have reports but such things are not enough for huge platform like Facebook. Reporters should have rewards from their good reports.

I believe Yes! This coin will be a game changer. As it is backed up a few big companies like PP, Master card and Coinbase etc. Also, more than 2.2 Billion people who are using Social media will be using it, It surely going to take down bitcoin.

I'm not sure if that's sarcasm (Poe's law) but...

Libra isn't going to take down Bitcoin just like none of the other ALTs and stable coins did. There will ALWAYS have a space for Bitcoin or any possible cryptocurrency that takes btc down futurely. Libra isn't just an "coin backed up by big companies"; it is also CONTROLLED by them. They can issue new coins and possible will even be able to block funds or rollback the chain. You can't do that with Bitcoin because no one controls it fully.

Many people will use Libra for their daily needs (possibly billions), but there will always be a community that cares more about privacy and safety than convenience.

And that exactly why we should stay away from it; we are talking about actual (credit) PRIVATE companies creating their own money.

Fiat money does at least come from democratically elected governments (public institutions) so even if it's not perfect, it can be controlled, and is meant to be "for the people".

Private companies are there to make money. Users don't matter. So this is a whole new level of economic liberalism (which is kind of horrible to see).

Also, more than 2.2 Billion people who are using Social media will be using it,

Just because many people use it, it does not mean it's good; take a look at drugs  

It surely going to take down bitcoin.

I sincerely hope it won't and can't; and it will make real crypto even stronger

I believe No! Because the Whitepaper of Libra presents that fact that the coin will destroy core idea of crypto currencies, and it is too far away from decentralization. We don't need centralized crypto currencies. Someone can launch such coins, like Libra, and those coins might survive, grow well, and accepted, but to replace bitcoin, and other powerful, widely accepted decentralized crypto currencies. I would say No! Crypto Newbies will easily accept Libra, but they will sooner or later realize their mistakes by using a centralized coin. Facebook, itself is a centralized social media platform. Together, using Facebook and Libra put users under high risks of ID leaks.

Using facebook UI on bitcointalk will be nothing than shit.
Forums should be simple as it is. Forums are for discussion and sharing information not for attracting users from their design.
Facebook is already becoming shit as it deserve. Their interface is full of information which users really don't need.

[Harlot]

Last time I checked Bitcointalk is still a forum an not a social networking site. The difference is big because they cater to different audience and they are used on a different way. Mixing a Facebook U.I. like elements on a forum would be a bad idea as it would attract the wrong kind of audience and it will feel like BCT has a different purpose. Plus you are also a newbie you really don't know what you are saying right now, you don't even have the right to demand it.

Just imagine, this is an old school forum, people need to get used to it before they can start to shitpost a lot...
If the UI would allow to post as simple as FB or other social media sites, there would not be possible to hire enough mods to stop the spam...

If such thing will be applied, we don't need to stake Bitcoin address, because people mostly self-disclose their identities on Facebook. They don't care about their identities can be used (abused) to steal their funds and lots of others shady things. In other words, Facebook need as many new (real) users as possible, the forum does not. What the forum need is as many quality users as possible, we don't need to see new (real) shitposters.
