50/50 for me. Last update didn’t shut down, one before that did.

Try to do any formatting more complex than none at all in Confluence. It just gets polluted with invisible markup and changes styling randomly.

I didn’t fully drop Reddit but I use it significantly less.

I’ve heard of people printing out charts, then cutting out the part they wanted to calculate an integral of, then weighing the paper.

I really like PowerShell’s object-oriented approach to pipelines. Unix pipes feel really dated in comparison.

Working as a software engineer developing for the IT team, I understand the system I’m developing on, but not the system I’m developing.

Jira customfields give me nightmares.

Maybe through moderation?

Reddit doesn’t pay them anything, doesn’t even offer premium at a discount or anything.

But it offers them a tiny bit of power, via being a internet janitor. I’m certain that there’s a decent amount of people who will jump at the opportunity to become a moderator of a large subreddit. They are obviously the worst people to wield such power - just like anyone in the real world who seeks power is least likely to use it for good.

Moderation will be low quality, but it will remove spam. As long as the content mill keeps running all is fine. Users of the tiktokified official Reddit app won’t even notice a thing.

I got a few ideas:

• Let people make their own multi-communities, then publish them. The multis would get a separate category in search.

• Let community moderators decide to join a list. For example:

1. community@a and community@b exist.
2. mod@a starts multi-community@a
3. mod@b requests for community@b to join that multi
4. mod@a accepts
5. multi-community@a is now a shared feed of both communities.
