All you have to do is retain ownership and never do an IPO.

Having shareholders in a public market makes a company go evil.

I think it should look a bit more like old.reddit + RES (though not a copy). Pretty much if the choice is between looking more like old.reddit + RES or looking like new Reddit, go with the old.

Some specific issues I am seeing:

Half my screen is dead space, and why is the sidebar right up against the main column of text?

Extraneous stuff should be right (or left, depending on layout) justified, putting space between the main content and the sidebar. Also, let the center column be wider if someone has a wider screen.

I would like to be able to expand text or images without going all the way into the post. Basically, push everything else down and show the post, but leave the user on the front page and don't load the comments.

What's wrong with helping a country defend itself from invasion by imperial warmongers?

And to be clear, yes, I am calling Russia imperial warmongers. They have been actively invading neighboring countries for decades to expand themselves. And what is an empire if not a nation built on the conquest of other countries?

Supporting Ukraine is the only U.S. military action since WW2 that I can truly support. Even our action in response to 9/11 was fucked up.

I suspect there will be specific servers/communities that support that content.
