/r/wordpress will probably have others.

Comment spam is terrible and will continue to get worse.

Decent alternatives exist.

Increasing the visibility of Akismet should help increase revenue.

This is 100% a financial move.

“Yes, yes,” said Bethan, sitting down glumly. “I know you don’t. Rincewind, all the shops have been smashed open, there was a whole bunch of people across the street helping themselves to musical instruments, can you believe that?”

“Yeah,” said Rincewind, picking up a knife and testing its blade thoughtfully. “Luters, I expect.”

Great author.

This appears to apply to iOS / Android apps, not 'online consumers'

Why would I switch to Clutterfall?

"This is a place for those who have a moderately large collection of removed games (games no longer available for purchase on steam) to gather. For most, this group will just be about the name, showing off that you own what others no longer can. For others, it can be a resource to find what you once believed could no longer be found."

Share your knowledge, experience, humour.

Do not post 'posts' / links.

You don't need to concentrate your attention anywhere in particular or to explore anything in depth. I stay away from news / politics / gaming subs even though they are my main interest until I have enough of a history / karma.

Some subs do have subreddit specific karma limits but they are many and varied.

It can be a long game, but gaming reddit with comments is easy enough so you'll pass their 'checks'.

I surfaced and kept heading out. All of a sudden the water went from warm to cold. Goggles still on I looked down into the water. Darkness. Nothing.

Phobic? Probably not but it was very scary.

A ton of experience and knowledge is there.

"without properly giving back to the open source community." The GPL does not require this

"and claimed to its customers that it had committed 5% of its resources to support the WordPress ecosystem. Automattic says it never kept those promises." So what?

"Automattic also claims that WP Engine degraded the consumer experience and product quality in an attempt to cut costs during this time by removing essential features." So what?

Not a big leap then.

Dementia runs in the paternal side of the family but from what I know it doesn't start until the mid to late age 70s. I'm 61 so I have a few years yet.
