The Greeks were also famous for making multiple, multiple handwritten copies of any literature they encountered

You kinda had to then, since archival paper wasn’t invented and papyrus doesn’t normally last very long.

I only know because you just told me. What’s a bonzi anyway?

That’s my plan when Win10 gets too old. I’ve run Linux before (although not as my daily driver) so the only thing worrying me is choosing which distro…

I like an eyemask too, although I tend to only use it if I wake up too early and want to go back to sleep - it’s too hot to keep it on all night.

I think some really general-purpose communities like films or books are good to be one per large instance, as they’ll be busy enough to have plenty of content without them getting so big you have that Reddit thing where it feels pointless trying to contribute unless you’re early.

Smaller, more niche communities definitely are harmed by being spread out as they get too quiet to survive.

It’s too easy to quit though; I can never get going.

Six days later and there’s 44 75 on the first page (top 20 Active), so I guess OP was correct about human nature.

This took longer than just adding them up, but that’s not the point:

Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('[aria-label="Downvote"] span.ms-2'))
    .reduce((acc, e) => acc + parseInt(e.innerText, 10) || 0, 0)
