It was probably closed because forfansbyfans was acquired.

This is called quantum tunneling, and if I understand correctly, it thwarted Intel's plans to clock the Pentium 4 to 10GHz.

That Robot Prince of Auchtertool guy is pretty cool, I hope the recently-released extra wizard and Knife of Evil don't have any drastic effects on his surely long and successful career

They ran out of money and shut down for good on Christmas Day 2020.

I have seen Reddit make a lot of changes over the years that have continually shifted it away from what I wanted it to be. I have been hoping for a long time that something would supplant reddit, probably for most of the time I've been using the platform. If it is really still not profitable after all of that, then I doubt that they can make meaningful positive changes that I want and be in the black. So to answer your question, no, there's probably nothing they can do to get me to stop seeking replacements.

One or more of the Reddit interfaces displays a dagger on comments that are "controversial", notably missing from the official phone app I think. I do miss the individual counts, though.

On Reddit, comments can show negative scores, but posts will never show a score lower than zero. It used to be possible to determine how negative a post score really was, but that hasn't been possible for some time now.

Edit: I guess that doesn't really answer your question. I read too fast, whoops.
