Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

...Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh... What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No.....well, this is odd.

So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn't been defederated for some reason). That way you'll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It's just not my thing.

I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.

I could only think, "That's no better!!"

We'll see if that changes.

To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that's what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more....static.

The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.

Sounds like that's being fixed soon.

by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation

Ugh.... That marketing language makes me cringe hard.
