Feedback on dropsdowns. I hate em. (piefed.social)

So awhile back viewing a post options and stuff was just one click like what I currently am looking at as I create a post for type of post. It was changed to dropdowns awhile back and I really gave it a shot but ultimately just wish so much it was back to the way it was. For me less clicks is a better interface and this change transformed a one click thing into a three click thing. Before it was click on sort by new. Now its click on dropdown. click on new. click on apply. Im not sure the reasoning behind it. Maybe to make it look cleaner but it does not actually save any space really as the horizontal is just not used now. I mean I may be wrong on that but personally its all about click reduction for me with most interfaces.

Yeah.

When I added the Post/Comments filter it became too wide so they were all put in their own dropdown.

I guess hot/top/new get used the most so they should be always visible, the rest can remain buried. Will look into it.

thanks. I did not expect a reversal just on my comment but I do like it better.
