Yeah I guess many skilled sports have some unique slang for a beginner or someone with no clue. Grom is another weird one for surf/skate.

100% of people who say shit like this in reference to Norway don't know that Norway isn't a member of the EU.

It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

This is just a rant about personal frustrations. I even probably agree with him on most of these things, but I don't think we need to share this kind of thing here. So tired of threads about how much we all hate and disagree with each other's languages. It's better if the rust people get rust and the go people get go. There is no one holy grail of a language that everyone is going to like.

You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a "big enough to be good" community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

I agree with you. Golang is a useful symbol for things like a community ID, but the human readable name is "Go Programming Language".

If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn't have edits wipe out the original data. It's certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.

Are you saying I can subscribe to this community without negatively affecting my blood pressure? I'm slightly skeptical but I'll give it a try.
