If doing nothing is enough for collapse, then we've already effectively collapsed.

especially small ones with small file size games that are easy to reinstall over and over?

Wouldn't even need a small game technically. I'm pretty sure the only way to properly calculate would be running a postinstall script and someone could presumably just keep running that script

That's not radically different from what happens with other abandoned subs, except that usually they are actually abandoned and there has to be more talk about who should take over.

Reddit's policy has always been that subreddit requests only apply if someone actually goes vacant. The only reason XKCD still doesn't have holocaust denial in the sidebar is because the guy who owned the sub disappeared. The XKCD case is especially egregious because I'd argue that associating a public figure's webcomic with a horrendous opinion he doesn't hold is something that would actually open you up to a lawsuit.

To an extent I sometimes agree with the complaints about playersexual, but in this instance it feels like they're just grasping for a reason to not be called a prude.

Skyrim had under 100 employees.

It's a lot more nuanced than that. The Chapo mods wanted to follow site-wide rules but reddit refused to explain what was in violation of them.

Reddit actually has a weird history of flipflopping with the banhammer.

Back in the day, the XKCD subreddit was run by a guy who linked a Holocaust denial subreddit and the red pill in the sidebar. Reddit didn't do anything about this. In fact The Red Pill still exists.

But then when the subreddit owner closed KotakuInAction, suddenly reddit doesn't mind interfering with the free market of ideas.

Sure, but that's a separate argument.

The only context I heard this term in was to refer to the people who got made a career out of replying to Trump.

Yeah I was still in high school back then. Now I've almost graduated college. The pandemic really changed things.

I heard elsewhere on Lemmy someone signing a permission slip for letting Benjamin be called Ben. Might just be a school doing malicious compliance in regards to the law though.

If you can find it, Pocari sweat is the best electrolyte thing I've tried.
