They were going to ask for volunteers from Musk's legions of loyal fans, but then they realised the subjects needed to have brains.

I just love the assumption that we have to have brain implants (why? Because L. Ron Musk said so?)

Truegaming was like that: you had to make a post that fostered a discussion...but you couldn't frame it in any was as something that could possibly be asking readers a question, or imply a demand for reader input.

So, you had to write something that people would reply to and not reply to at the same time...

You've got a bunch of nerds whose sole positive trait they ascribe to themselves is being smart, so they'll do anything to prove that - it's the only thing keeping them going. That was reddit.

That's my main desire when not wanting this to be Reddit 2.0, that and a move away from the heavily US-centric bias, in views, content and assumption it's the default lived experience of the users.

Unfortunately, American lensing isn't a function of reddit, it's a function of Americans, full stop.

Heh, the growing passive-aggression the last few years definitely was Toxic Ex-Girlfriend territory.
