    I don't feel like hoarding is a bad thing. It feels like you're archiving, you get to organize things properly, it's almost physical. There's something appealing in that idea itself to me.

    I actually started switching from streaming services to files because of that. I never really got the hang of exploration with Google Play Music, it doesn't know what I want (neither do I though).

    I'm not against this. You can't expect them to make (more or less) quality Fallout games so quickly anyway, so by doing this, they're not taking anything away from you. They just wanted to explore a particular genre and the Fallout universe seemed like an appropriate setting. It could also have brought inspiration for some original ideas, not found in existing games. Or I'm just too optimistic.

    What if top comments were somehow mixed with new comments? A special sorting method could alternate them or (more hypothetically) show them in two columns.

    The numbering in French seems rather silly and difficult to get used to (for a learner) and I find no value in that. Things like colour or Eszett don't matter that much.

    Huh. I looked at their history and the comments were so few and bland, it feels like they wouldn't really be able to coherently object to the decision to ban them, if given a warning.

    Also, I think you should make the Code of Conduct more clear on this. "Don't act like an asshole" doesn't quite describe what was done wrong this time.

    Sounds a lot like my experience with Mastodon.

    I learned that you have to follow others to get content

    I still dont get how to make new friends. I mean by what? I cant judge if I should follow someone because of random recent posts.

    Any idea about the exact time? I don't want to spend all day checking if it's out until it's 12pm.

    What I'm arguing is not all fluff is low-effort. Mostly memes are, I'm not saying we should allow memes. And no, I'm not speaking about animal memes, /r/AnimalTextGifs are much better than that and seem to require quite a bit of effort to make.

    I'm a bit disappointed that memes are in the same category with pics and gifs. There's a lot of fluff that is so much better than memes. Like things found in /r/hmmm, /r/Birbs, /r/AnimalTextGifs. With lots of quality restrictions, it could be okay to have fluff.

    Since English is a foreign language for me, it's also kind of harder to read long texts in it. Not that I can't understand them, it's fine, but when I need to read a Wikipedia article, I get this temptation to switch to the native language, it's like it's easier on the eyes.

    Well, if trolling is welcomed as good posting, maybe it's really, really unsuccessful trolling.

    Not at all, I was talking about reasoning or whatever you want to call it. Similar to the thing programs can do too. Sounds like I'm with "(hard) determinism" here.

    For me, it's clear that "subscribe" is blue while "subscribed" is purple (same thing with votes by the way), but I guess it's not so clear for everyone, especially for colorblind people.

    Good point, but with cell phones, the direction that technology went was not to just make smaller versions of the same old thing. In some cases we know they were wrong.
