The people who are still pissy over at reddit don’t actually want to leave unless they’re presented with a reddit clone that has both a fully developed app and a huge userbase.

Invisible Hand is working as intended. Praise Adam Smith!

I lurk the frontpage occasionally and I've already noticed the Reddit atmosphere has gotten ... weird.

Little-known, content-churning subreddits are bubbling to the top because of all the other blackouts and desertions. Fringe viewpoints and wacko opinions that would normally get downvoted to the bottom of a thread are now out in the open because there's no voice of reason to hold them back.

And the kind of people that are still on there, acting as if everything is fine (or, God forbid, better(???) than it was before the revolts) ... it's a very strange place now.

Just be glad we're actually taking showers.

Thank you to all the code monkeys for getting things straightened out!

System appears to be working as intended

I just like that I can post an honest comment and not worry about being Well-Ackshually'd to death. Sometimes I'd be knee-deep in Wikipedia fact-checking and suddenly realize, "This reddit reply is not worth the personal effort I am putting into it."

There's the answer I was looking for!

I watched a 3-hour Krita beginner's tutorial (can't remember the exact video but the narrator had a strong French accent) and he explained so many tricks and tips - hold down Ctrl to do this, hold down Shift to do another thing - that might not be intuitive from just poking around. But Krita really is the "built by artists, for artists" program once you have a keyboard & tablet config that fits one's personal workflow.

One of the true childhood nostalgia games for me.

Sometimes I'd hear people talk about other games with Descent in the title (I think it was Descent: Freespace?) I'd think "Wait ... that's not the Descent I know of"
