    “modern design sensibilities”

    How I dislike laptops not having trackpad buttons! No matter how good modern trackpads are, I still just want buttons. And lots of keys, and switches… and screws. Don’t care how clean and sleek modern laptops look, they are a tool for me.

    • Bonus points for the trackpoint!



  • Now that you said ghost town… There is this sub I really liked that had around 500 000 members but with close to zero activity, like one or two posts a month and barely any comment. Now, with the changes, last time I checked it said it had less than 1000 active users!

    I don’t know if this change is good or bad for Reddit, but you can bet it was bad for mods, because they are complaining about those drastic reductions in member counts. I understand that there is no point in counting members if they are long gone, just like it doesn’t make sense for a city to count their deceased for a population estimation.

    Anyway, as usual mods there complain and complain but won’t leave the site. I’m trapped there because of a few niche subs I can’t find good replacements for, but I hope all these changes move more people out.
