Actually, yeah, I have asked my friends how the girlfriend who dumped me is doing. Caring isn't something you can click on and off like a light switch.

Time to kill OldReddit. Let's get everyone onto the gloriously redesigned Reddit.
Brilliant. Send Spez your résumé!
The drawbacks outweigh any advantages. 'Karma' becomes the status symbol, leading to wisecracks, puns, and irrelevancies instead of intelligent dialogue.
All karma is bad karma. I'll take none, please.
r/DataIsBeautiful, RIP. It was one of several -- actually, MANY -- subreddits that astounded me at first but quickly became a bore, as the quality of the posts collapsed like me without my walker. Something about the upvote/downvote system seems to encourage crap, or maybe (my increasing suspicion) the people on Reddit are now outnumbered by the bots.
I'd be curious to see footage of the wave, but there's no act of nature (and nothing on earth, really) that would make me want to watch even the briefest clip from a TV newscast.
I kinda love the smaller population here and elsewhere. Reddit was too big a crowd, too centralized. I like being more scattered, and making genuine connections that aren't drowned in a sea of wisecracks and insults competing for 'karma'.
"Boost" comes across as a bug, not a feature. People should have one vote, not two.
Because it's bullshit.
Spez is an ass on his own merits, no lies needed. He was (briefly) named as an r/Jailbait moderator without his knowledge at a time when anyone could name anyone as moderator of any subReddit.
So, it's bullshit.
I made it as far as "It's not just Republicans," in the 4th paragraph. Yeah, it's an other "discourse has gotten so bad" and "both sides do it" un-think piece.
Report a spammer once, for the good of the community, and then block the 'user'. Problem solved. :)
The facts are the facts and it's all true, but Rob McCallum is cited nine times in the article, with no explanation of who he is unless you watch the video. For the record, he's this guy: https://www.eyos-expeditions.com/about/team/rob-mccallum/
BBC is usually top-notch, but that's a hell of a journalistic booboo.
