As others have already said, I guess it's the repository of content. I watched Heat and Cape Fear for the first time yesterday, and then spent like an hour reading random threads about it. And I could have easily continued! And there are movies with an endless supply of huge threads, like Eyes Wide Shut.

This is just an anecdotal example that I just lived yesterday.

He just skipped a step. Didn't miss much in the end.

I want to believe they lived a life worth living in the meantime, and now has had enough of that.

He just skipped a step. Didn't miss much in the end. Most likely lived a life worth loving in the meantime, and now had enough of that.

Is there really such a big influx of users migrating specifically TODAY, of all days? I guessed most interested users, like us, did in advance these last 3-4 weeks.

I wish there was a way to see the traffic of different instances in (mostly) real time.

A little on a tangent here but...

I'm guessing News and WorldNews will, again and like in Reddit, be actually USANews. Let's see what the fediverse and instances do bring to that issue.

There's a stupid question I have (c/NoStupidQuestions?)

What do mods gain from reopening the subs after two days, even if demands are not met? Are they gaining money or something? Perhaps the bigger ones.

Well, I'm not OP but there are a few demographics I'd rather remain in Reddit, far away from this place.

Oh wow, reading it summarized in your three points instantly reminded me of the behaviour of an emotional abuser. The last one specially hits hard, classic bully telling it's actually the bullied one.

I have no idea if the technology allows for an implementation of that multislice with multiple slices with the same name but different instance, but I hope it does because it sounds interesting. At least from a user perspective.

Well, that demographic is always great for their advertiser acquisition goal
