The Julia and Mandelbrot sets always get me. That such a complex structure could arise from such simple rules. Here's a brilliant explanation I found years back: https://www.karlsims.com/julia.html

Wait let's hear him out

I have to disagree with this paragraph. That Tailwind enforces a design system is its biggest strength. Having a small selection of colors, font sizes, and padding to choose from is what makes a website feel much more cohesive than one where developers pick arbitrary values every time they style an element.

But you don't need Tailwind for that; design systems are easy to implement these days using CSS custom properties.

So make a self sustaining commune that lives up to your principles. I think you will find that to be more work than your average 9-5 however.

Yep. "A dozen of people came forward calling him a creep but we couldn't technically prove SA" is cold comfort

That was true at one point, but reddit has had personalized rankings for a while now. See: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/7hkvjn/what_we_think_about_when_we_think_about_ranking

But your point stands; reddit's earlier ranking methodology was obviously pretty good since it made the site so popular.

Thanks that makes sense. I get why some people are against it, but ranking on your engagement can be super useful imo. Like if I comment on a couple niche communities a lot, I don’t want those to be drowned out by the much larger communities.

Nothing comes to mind, but I haven't used it a ton tbh. Just for a couple sites. I do trust Mozilla though and it's a nice way to support them.

I've been happy with Relay so far. I honestly didn't know Proton had an offering for this though, they should advertise it a bit better.
