Comment on Why are no reasons given when (or even better before) removing a post? in ~tildes

The topic/article itself was totally fine, but the comments tend to turn into a mess where everyone involved ends up angry.
So I just shut it down, but didn't have the time to post an explanation along with doing that. I do usually try to post an explanation, but I can't always depending on what time it is, where I am, etc.

Comment on Special tag: "Active" in ~tildes

The entire point of the Activity sort is that active threads stay near the top.
Alternatively, ignore the threads you're tired of seeing and then un-ignore them later if you want to. If you forget to un-ignore them, that's probably a good indication you didn't actually have much interest in the thread anyway.

Comment on Requesting feedback on my implementation of Nord into Tildes in ~tildes

However, after trying them out for a short time, I definitely agree with the users who have said that some elements are too low-contrast and difficult to read/distinguish (especially in the Light variant). It will probably be a lot easier for you to play around and evaluate the themes now that you can easily see them applied to actual Tildes pages, so could you please try to submit another merge request soon that adjusts some of the colors to improve those issues?

Comment on Game recommendations, specifically (round 2) in ~games

The entire game is based around using its unique momentum-based movement system. It's not particularly long, but probably takes a few hours depending how much time you spend just cruising around for fun. I loved it though, and should really play through it again.
And definitely going more into "games with great movement" than "games about movement", but I think all of these have especially great flow while moving through their worlds, so might be worth a shot:

(It's fine if you need to send follow-up messages to add more or adjust the list)
I'll keep an eye out for the topic and set something up to automatically post them all as separate comments so it doesn't need to be done manually. Or if you want to send me the topic's title/text in advance I can post it too along with all of the comments.

Having a more accurate title definitely makes it seem like a pretty ridiculous thing to publish an article about (and honestly kind of disappointing to see from the AP). Picking one inconsequential thing to sensationalize out of the new guidance, and then doing it inaccurately.
