Totally fair, and largely what I use it for, but it’s also helpful in the term at times to just get out a weird regex for a weirder file operation you don’t want to dork

Add in regexr as well

you shouldn’t have to work to exist, you shouldn’t have to be useful to anyone else to be part of a community

While I largely agree with your points (or at least some of the core of them) I think you’d have to flesh this out. For anything alive to exist, work needs to be done. And for anyone to be in a community people must mutually agree on membership. The “freeloader” problem isn’t a problem of ability where individuals “not useful” (and that gives me chills as much as it probably does you) to society can’t work, though it’s often framed that way to varying extents from both sides. I feel that it’s a problem where a large enough segment of the population would not be productive at what they could be doing simply because they don’t have to.

Our brains are literally wired to seek out more for less energy.

Again, I agree with most of your points, but these two could probably use a bit more explanation (at least to me)

I double checked and it was… for sure it’s been 100% co-opted by the “maniverse”, but I think it used to be a reasonably constructive community

I thought it was actually a lesbian woman who started the first incel group? Either way yeah it’s interesting because as usual, there are people who are wronged (or treated unfairly) by society, and people who wrong society and then feel wronged because of natural consequences.

It actually seems like an interesting problem to solve. Instance runners have the sql database with all the voting record, finding manipulative instances seems a bit like a machine learning problem to me

Uses vim with arrow keys

We’ll grab those in integration and E2E tests… let’s just stick with even numbers such that 2 < n < 1002… that’s 1000 cases, more than enough, and 100% test coverage

For real the choice used to be “swallow it and be happy” or “just don’t use reddit”. If 60% of people are happy with this decision they’re making (for very pragmatic reasons, I might add), then the other 40% can choose to stay or start accounts in other instances; or both.
