    It was the Sinatra headline, for me. ‘Ring-A-Ding-Ding, Baby.'

        If we ever do get an automated tagger, I propose it be named after you.

          Nah. I appreciate the sentiment, but @mycketforvirrad has me beat for the amount of tags applied by several orders of magnitude, I suspect. It should definitely be named after them. They put in serious work to keep this place organized, and don't get nearly the credit they deserve! They're the unsung hero of Tildes, IMO.

            It's only because their name is so much more difficult to remember that they go unappreciated. Rebranding opportunity when

              All in favor of @mycketforvirrad having their name changed to @godoftags by Deimos? :P

                Opposed, on the grounds that mycketforvirrad is ICONIC.

              Once you know what it means it's easier to remember. Good taste in metal too.

            💯💯💯

            We have nice, neat, clean headlines here and dutifully tagged and searchable submissions due to their efforts. I don’t think people adequately appreciate that they have probably edited tens of thousands of posts across years.

            Occasionally I’ll hop back on reddit to look at something, and my first thought is that the headlines are a complete mess. Inconsistent capitalization. Unclear wordings. Typos. American news headlines that forget that the rest of the world exists. Clickbait that stays clickbait instead of being descriptive.

            Meanwhile, our feed here is squeaky clean and consistent. You are THE source of an orderly, organized beauty for our community, @mycketforvirrad!

          I thought that was a very important tag that would add immense value to the community 😔

          In all seriousness though, I appreciate some humor as we and our wonderful trans young adult, who we love very much, are grieving today. The family stays together, and we keep fighting.

          And thanks for all you do with tagging. We love you too ❤️
