On the other hand it does feel a lot like something that might help a lot of apolitical extroverts who sort of found their communities saturated with maga people and converted for that reason
This. I think it’s even in place to have a little bit of tolerance for the fact that they might still have their minds a little bit poisoned with all the hateful crap. It may take long time and a lot of work to clean up your mind. Doing first step should be celebrated though.
imagine the hypocrisy: mods acting surprised about people posting about leopards eating faces, after so many years of enforcing rules that people should post about leopards eating faces.
and even older days when this was about leopards ripping off people’s faces not because they bothered them, but because they literally voted for it.
Well it seems like this “Aaron Day”, for one, does.
(I hope he’s not the only one :D)
The building, used by several hundred employees, had a security systems with 4-digit codes. I’ve been part of group of people who liked to work late times, and the building would lock at midnight – the box by the door would start beeping and you would need to unlock it within a minute or so, or “proper alarm” would ensue.
However, to unlock the alarm you did not need your card – all you needed to do was to enter any valid code. Guess what was the chance that, say, 1234 was someone’s valid code? Yes.
We’ve been all using some poor guy’s code 1234, and after several years, when he left the company we just guessed some other obvious code (4321) and kept using that.
By the way, after entering the code to the box by the door, it would shortly display name of the person whom the code “belonged” to. One of our colleagues took it as a personal secret project to slowly go through all 10000 possible codes and collect the names of the people, just for the kick of it.
(By the way, I don’t work for that company anymore, and more importantly, the company does not use that building anymore, so don’t get any ideas! 🙃 )

is not an opinion, it’s just being a jerk
