I've not been here long, but I'm curious how users who were present before the reddit drama feel about any potential changes to the content and tone of discussions.

An interesting article I saw (from 2019) describing the potential intrinsic tendency for decentralized platforms to collapse into de facto centralized ones.

Author identifies two extremes, "information dictatorship" and "information anarchy", and the flaws of each, as well as a third option "information democracy" to try and capture the best aspects of decentralization while eschewing the worst.

Someone said the link is broken so here it is: https://rosenzweig.io/blog/the-federation-fallacy.html

It's a lot of fun. I remember many years ago Top Gear's website had a game like this.

I'm proud to say I guess the car correctly most days. Sometimes I need assistance by image search or wikipedia to look at e.g. production timelines of manufacturers.

I wish there was a way to track my stats, so I could see if I'm improving, and what my average number of guesses is.

You tell me to take a piss on the deck of the Queen Mary, an hour later they're hosing it off with disinfectant.
