If you answer “yes”, you just might be repeating the whisper of a demon."

So, wait… people who have a competing world view from yours are listening to demons? Now who’s naive? xD

As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It’s not stupid (that doesn’t exist in this community), it’s just disturbing xD

No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don’t have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It’s like asking if ravioli is a noodle.

To add a bit more context, this comment is from a former Reddit dev, who is now the creator and developer of Tildes, one of the Reddit alternatives that’s been gaining traction in the last week:

(I used to work as a backend developer at Reddit - I left 6 years ago but I doubt the way things work has changed much)

I think it’s extremely unlikely that this is deliberate. The way that Reddit builds “mixed” subreddit listings (where you see posts from multiple subreddits, like users’ front pages) is inefficient and strange, and relies heavily on multiple layers of caches. Having so many subreddits private with their posts inaccessible has never happened before, and is probably causing a bunch of issues with this process.
