I found it curious, back in December, that Twitter suppressed tweets notifying followers of a Mastodon address, acknowledging no such threat from links to other social media companies, including a few that have in shorter work surpassed Twitter’s user base.
Similar behavior from Reddit briefly banning r/KbinMigration. There’s been a r/RedditAlternatives sub for over eleven years. Awkward if they suddenly decided that to be spam. For nearly as long, there’s been r/Facebook providing unofficial tech support for its users. Upon resolving their issue, one easily supposes they return to looking at ads on that hellhole rather than those on Reddit. That one, I’m confident, was subject to no interruption at all.
Recommend also the seminal TMRC dictionary for several terms absent here, plus some memorably elegant definitions:
Kludge: A crock that works.
Crock: A kludge that doesn’t work.
Same again true of Peter Samson’s original 1959 and 1960 editions.
