To be honest, the hex strings make it much harder to remember imo, especially with the terrible syntax of nothing between a colon being a 0. Even having them be 16-bit integers would've been find imo

spacex is the one I'm actually kinda fine with, it's a fine and actually sorta clever name (as in space[ e]x[ploration]). the other ones just get kinda absurd though.

phonetically misspelled names, while kinda weird, aren't really on the same level as this tbh. I guess my point is naming someone isn't really the place for wacky creativity.

That's basically how reddit works. I've implied this in comments on reddit[1], but there is basically no way for reddit to do what it wants to do with non-OAuth clients. Old reddit for example uses the reddit API essentially direc
