Up until day one past IPO.
And that’s the day I completely stop using the site.
I’ve still been using it for technical stuff, because there’s a absolute shitload of extremely valuable and informative content on a bunch of engineering- and tech-oriented subs, but a lot of the users who were involved with that seem to be switching here, and a lot of THOSE users have applied scripts to nuke all comments on their account, so it’s steadily becoming less valuable and more out of date. That said, it’s a bummer that that the knowledge base contained in those communities are largely going to seed.
What if we, "the users", contributed to a decentralized platform and built that knowledge base up instead?
This allows us to place the R word as basically an archive of the time period as it shouldn't have much more intellectual growth.
That’s exactly what I was alluding to when I said a lot of the users in those Reddit subs were migrating here
They killed .compact a while ago.
