So, that whole section for Spock on being a Vulcan, That's the video clip they're going to give new actors for Vulcans isn't it? Right down to the prosthetics.

Read only use is hardly good though, that's just coating them money. You want engagement from users to drive ads.

Well, now I want RIF too, completion is good!

In all seriousness this is good to see.

I like that the code is 451, but yeah no one is going to explicitly use it when they're blocking things. A little too on the nose.

Alright so not just me, it's useful but out of date. Some of these are still good, others have been replaced.

I have a feeling they got a massive number of those,ni am one of them as well.

Yep. It turns out there is no such thing as a 'balanced' social network.

Which is analogous to life, depressingly enough.

Well, it's the nature of almost any online community. Say the 'popular' thing and you're lauded, even if a slightly less popular point is more valid / has better evidence.

There really is no good way to discourage this other than fostering a community which values the discourse over 'popular' thing. That's difficult to do even offline.

Hmm, I don't disagree with the fragmentation but that's the nature of any new social platform. It's also been proven out that eventually one or two communities for a topic will become the dominant one with the others falling into disuse.

Attempting to merge communities early or artificially will cause moderator strife as minor disagreements balloon. Especially in a multireddit community where no one mod(team) has absolute control.

I don't have a reason from a technical point of view, but from a social one. Forcing communities and instances together early will only cause strife. After a few years where two communities have a track record and proven 'behavior' would the multireddit not cause issue.

Personally a Reddit is Fun user, but sad to see them all go...

Feels like old school forums again. A little barebones compared to some of the corporate stuff, but that's not a bad thing. Just the simple what's needed no extra fluff.

More people, yay!
