It really does feel a bit like the early days, for me. Bunch of strangers talking to each other in, generally, good faith. 'Course there were also tons of pop-ups, the banner would’ve taken an hour to download at that resolution… I like this more. lol

I’ve just created a community, to that end, that I’m hoping to start fleshing out when I get home tonight - finding and linking to like-minded communities is a really good idea for that. Thank you for that idea!

Interesting! Indeed, I think you’ve started me on a rabbit hole that I’m going to be going down for a little while - this is delightful. lol

I love that this is a community. Man, I love the internet sometimes.

Also, comparatively little guy isopod, right? I mean, I’ve not encountered any in person aside from the little under-rocks guys, so my scale might be pretty off.

Oh. Yeah there’s… there’s something special about a fuzzy toilet seat.

Special, and unnaturally warm.

If it is deliberate, I’m pretty sure that’d be a call-our-bluff sort of situation and they’d end up with a longer blackout as a result, at least until the majority of participating mods are replaced/banned.

I’d assumed a minor reverse-reddit-hug, personally - there are a lot of news stories on this today with a lot of links to reddit. Either way, a day in and I’m here and kinda loving it, despite it being a bit … wonky on posting today with all us refugees.

Yeah, agreed. It’s nice to see a place like this grow, though, so I’m sure more usability/readability design tweaks will probably fall in at some point. What I’m finding odd about my own experience re: the threaded layout is that when I first joined reddit, I had trouble following along because I was used to the forum style, with quotes to call out threaded replies, and now here we are in reverse.

I’d been following TST since it first popped up in the news, and eventually just decided to join. I love the community and am glad to see some of that porting over here. Hail yourself :)

It’s just something to get the hang of. Currently somewhat confusing, but not insurmountable. It does feel a lot like Reddit did some thirteen years ago. This is a nice blend of modern and easy to use, and has a whiff of my early days on the internet (bb’s, forums, etc) without measuring internet speeds in kbps, which is nice.
