Many leavers indeed won’t come back. And it sounds like a lot of the leavers are mods and actives who were really relying on the better UX and functionality of outside apps and old Reddit etc. They won’t take being forced to a paid app or Reddits 's vision of UX and they probably will remember how the service treated them after all their essentially volunteer effort.

Oh, that’s one I also hope will come up. And just /r/carporn and slightly related /r/atbge as well.

There is a patientgamers here at least.

Hardcoreaww for me.

Subs for machining and electronics and CNC were not really good. Some 3D printing ones were maybe better. Would be nice to see good content like that here.

Can’t remember if that was a takeover like pocketpussy or just named like that from the start, but I’d actually heard of it.

Interesting phenomenon. As were rimjob_steve and floridaman.

Yes. Sometimes terminal emulators or the libraries in use just fail. Plain old print line might still work.

One of the great things of command driven editors like vi, sam, ed, and helix is that they can tolerate massive lag and various kinds of brokenness.

What does kind of offset this is that there’s less need these days to try and talk to broken systems. You can often just pull the drive/card or boot from another source and fix the image or something.

Don’t forget legal. Defensive and offensive.

Mind you, it can sound a lot like clown world which is a phrase Nazis and other groups against progress love to use.

Email is internet, but not Web.

(Actually email is older than internet as well)
