    Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are not directing anymore, but they were still involved in the writing process.

    Valve has had so many security issues with Steam over the last couple of years (password reset bypass; publicly visible account details, ...) that I've become relatively careful with the information on my account and am sadly not too surprised that such an exploit could remain undetected by them for so long.

    At least they recently have put up official financial rewards for discovering security flaws and notifying them about those.

    I think adding a subgroup for such a specific thing (like a single artists) only makes sense if users will be able to create them themselves in the long run. Has that been decided on already?

    I think having to select groups instead of deselecting them is a good idea - especially if more groups keep being added (such as ~food, ~books, etc.). If that's implemented, the group list should probably appear automatically after registration (or maybe your frontpage could get replaced by it if you haven't followed anything yet?).

    I don't think current user's settings should be changed, though. As you said, it might annoy/confuse us too much, especially those who already customized their groups.

    Looking forward to improvements to the group page and the new groups! Maybe ~soc could be named ~society? Not sure about that.

    I mostly agree with you, but I still enjoyed TFA more than TLJ. Even though in retrospect it is obviously just a rehash of previous stories in Star Wars (especially a third Death Star was kind of ridiculous), the movie and its characters were simply able to pull me in so much more convincingly. With TLJ, I was never able to suspend my disbelief and not question everything.
