On the one hand, yeah the "controversy" here seems rather dumb. It's banned from a website where people compare their typing speeds, big whoop. And the discussion about its possible advantage in games like Smash is similarly

I think it's just a difference in attitude. Some people (like myself) prefer to be treated with more respect than a snarky comment. You can attribute that to being sensitive if you'd like. I think other commenters think more along

I think there must be a language difference between us, since I usually interpret "for the lulz" as meaning "without a [good] reason." Kudos to you for doing well on it. The oddest reason I've ever heard for taking

In defense of the site, the mechanical keyboard hobby consists of a lot of buying things. New keyboards, new keycaps, new artisans, new cases, new cords, new switches... I'm probably missing a few of the other things people buy. So it

The hope with youtube videos is that the likes/dislikes represent a random sampling from the ratings of everyone who would watch the video. A brigade is purposefully adding to the sample ratings from only one side. So from an objective

Riju is down, but I had a chance to use it for a few minutes when it was up. To me it was very similar to tio.run, so take a look and see for yourself how they are similar to repl.it.
