I assume that’s how OP’s debate of how many holes a human had ended up being about straws: someone argued that the mouth and the anus are just one hole

I believe the scientific name for this whole thing is “clusterfuck” xD

the articles from The Verge seem to be very favorable towards the protestors

Because that’s what’s driving traffic for them right now. Let’s not forget that The Verge is also a soulless corporate entity. Peters has been doing a good job at covering the issues, but he wouldn’t be allowed to be as thorough if the topic and angle wasn’t a good driver of traffic.

That argument doesn’t hold under scrutiny. Reddit employs about 80 people on their iOS development team. And the app blows fucking chunks, compared to Apollo, which was made by one guy.

Too bad they don’t seem to be federating. Just tried signing up to that specific community from Kbin, but it doesn’t show the content. Oh well, gonna keep my eye on it, regardless.

As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It’s not stupid (that doesn’t exist in this community), it’s just disturbing xD

No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don’t have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It’s like asking if ravioli is a noodle.

To add a bit more context, this comment is from a former Reddit dev, who is now the creator and developer of Tildes, one of the Reddit alternatives that’s been gaining traction in the last week:

(I used to work as a backend developer at Reddit - I left 6 years ago but I doubt the way things work has changed much)

I think it’s extremely unlikely that this is deliberate. The way that Reddit builds “mixed” subreddit listings (where you see posts from multiple subreddits, like users’ front pages) is inefficient and strange, and relies heavily on multiple layers of caches. Having so many subreddits private with their posts inaccessible has never happened before, and is probably causing a bunch of issues with this process.
