I dunno, I think Elon leans Chaotic.

Heyoooo

This brings me back. A simpler time.

Whyyyy

It’s easy to look at this from the lens of people just wanting power, but maybe it’s something akin to the grief, honest grief, I felt about leaving Reddit because I had been there so long as just a user. I can’t imagine how it would feel to give up control over something that I had created and curated for many years knowing that it was going to be destroyed. 

Awesome. Thank you!

This is, word for word, what I was going to post. Hi comment twin!

Fair enough!

But isn’t that just giving Reddit more traffic and doing exactly what spez wants us to do? 

I’d like to thank you for what you did.

I had been on Reddit for a similar amount of time, but I had cycled through a number of usernames during that period. So it wasn’t nearly as big of a loss for me as it was for you—I appreciate the lengths you went for supporting the cause. Thank you. 

Have we created orbiting poles of garbage, or are WE in fact orbiting piles of garbage?

Same. He’s just the billionaire of billionaires, the apotheosis of billionaires.

I’m an Apollo user, but still. It’s a sad night. Why am I so sad?

Maybe it’s because I’m so lonely, and Reddit provided a bright little spark to fill the darkness. And it did that for like 16 years for me. And now it’s gone.

RIP.

This isn’t directly related to your comment, but you seem so smart, and I got to say that is definitely one thing I’m enjoying on this website over Reddit! :-)

I worry about this too. I’ve always said and thought that I feel more like a citizen of the Internet then of my country, state, or town, so its history is important to me.

Yeah, it’s 'cuz we’re all the bleeding-edge nerds. The best people, in my opinion. ;)

Well your username certainly wins my everything for the day!
