Something else to possibly consider, is the submission rate restrictions, on top of glitches. Like blocking people from submitting a link based on frequency. An example is I submitted 1 link 2 days ago, and an attempt to post a new one ge

Part of the problem is that those who are overweight don't want to be shamed for it or can wish others would avoid the topic. Consequently, it can become a socially complex issue, where people want to avoid hurting other people's

You made a good point, that is often overlooked about memory management, as if all users will always want to do it manually. The reality is, many don't want to deal with it at all or only for specific projects and reasons. For new an

They don't want to pick a fight with Cloudflare or Google, because they have deep pockets, and doing so can clearly backfire on them in multiple ways. Where if they pick on easier targets, they then can get the courts to back their ce
