    Yeah this is a tough one, and I see both sides of it. I do think that once image posts became easy, it really did change reddit quite a lot. But some pretty awesome communities have sprouted out due to "shitposting"... trollxchromosomes is a place that has a unique and interesting community, built around shitposts.

    I totally get what is trying to be done here, and I appreciate it. I do worry sometimes that attempting to be too "highbrow" can end up alienating a lot of folks, and can end up being a site that takes itself a bit too seriously to keep people's interest.

    Honestly I feel like "Your phone already has an app for using it—it's your browser." comes across sorta unnecessarily smug. Its very... purist.

    Can I be annoying and suggest changing the docs site colourscheme to match the main site default?

    I know that reddit catches a lot of shit for their search functionality not being great, and to some degree that might be justified based on how large a site they are at this point. For small/new sites though, search will not be google levels, will usually be quite basic when it exists.

    interesting! in what ways do you find this more valuable than other means of showing activity, like based on comments/engagement?

    I'm reading We're going to need more wine by Gabrielle Union. I'm mostly reading it in the bathtub with a glass of wine. It actually covers some pretty heavy topics-- racism, sexual assault, etc.

    I regret not exercising more in my 20s. Now that I'm older, I really wish I was in the routine of exercising. Its more difficult now.

    I'm glad that ~ creation is restricted right now. Back on Imzy, when reddit mods first showed up, they made a massive ton of communities, sprawled everywhere, and it sorta created a mess. Keeping things more focused in the beginning is a good idea, imo.
