I was trying to imagine what my 10 categories might look like and it's very similar to this! I tried getting into using Obsidian and used top level categories such as: Ideas, Lists, Learning, My News, Reminders, Misc.

One of my favourite things on the internet is when someone tries to make a pedantic correction and someone else comes along with something that's even more pedantic. Thanks for giving me a good start to the morning!

That's why the blackout needs to be permanent. If even 25% of the users have no clue what's happening and thinks Reddit is crapping out for a couple days they'll shrug their shoulders and use it 48 hours later when it's
