For starters, op had the right way.

Yes? I didn’t claim or imply otherwise. I was literally only replying to your statement of ‘it’s the only route that works.’ by just noting that there was a second route that also works. I have literally no idea why you’re taking offense.

There’s another correct route that doesn’t skip any numbers

Could you point out the part where I was being a dick? Jeez.

You said the only route. I’m pointing out that there’s 2.

There’s 2 correct routes that don’t skip any numbers. The one you mentioned, and the one shown in the pic (the one shown skips a couple numbers, yes, but it can actually pick up those numbers without any trouble.)

We really need a comm for commentors who aren’t lost but just plain clueless. Something like ‘c/rtfa’

Guess you’re getting eaten along with the rest of the rich when the time comes 😁

It does not take any funding to create accounts a few days in advance. Automating account creation is probably the most basic step in any troll’s toolbox.

reactionary basement neckbeards who wouldn’t post the same stuff a day later.

Trolls who give up after a day aren’t trolls, they’re users having a bad day. And if they’re stopping after a day, their impact on everybody else is miniscule.

On the OTHER hand, as everybody has pointed out, you’re badly impacting the new user experience. Bullshit posting restrictions on reddit are one of the worst things they came up with. Let’s not replicate all the user hostile stuff they implemented.

How does staggered new account permissions help deter bad actors in any way whatsoever? There’s nothing preventing them from having a pipeline of accounts in aging.

Yeah, they all seem to be posting vague ragebait. There’s definitely some sort of agenda there

If they had made the change for that reason, sure. But the actual stated cause was some pretty thing.

Very cogent take, enjoy the incoming downvotes.

Piefed fixes pretty much all of those questionable software decisions, though it does introduce a couple new ones of its own.

Reducing the amount of doomsday content on the front page, which I’m trying to help out with by starting !Nonpolitical_comics@piefed.social

The blog is hilarious.

This is a pretty cultural thing. I understand it’s become an issue in the west, but there’s many regions in the world where it’s not a problem.

Windows: If you can’t exit gracefully, I’ll make sure you never exit at all

Wonder if there’s enough interest in this to create a comm for it. Or maybe a more generic ‘daily game’ thing

I agree it’s not optimal, but I fail to see how it’s a ‘backfire’. Would it be preferable to be dumping it all in landfills?
