Cross-posting existing posts also helps immensely to cut down on the clutter. I've done that, from larger communities to smaller ones that I wanted to help grow. I've never tried changing the title to see if it still connects, but maybe so, if someone wanted/needed (for the specific rules of the community) to do that.

Do they still have mods, I thought they were all robots at this point? Especially for those large ones... Then again, this is so big it could even be an admin decision.

Fine, then offer a megathread, but to remove posts that people have already started back-and-forth comment chains on is an authoritian attempt to control the conversation.

I don't doubt that we'll see just a handful of new users on the Fediverse as a direct result of this.

Touching the thermostat will either cool the house or warm it. Leaving the thermostat alone (aka, not touching it) may also allow the house to become warmer or cooler than it is now (you know, bc weather).

Fyi this is asynchronous communication - you are allowed to spend more time thinking before speaking, if you don't understand something.

TLDR: he's fine, but the gunman was killed, along with a rally attendee and another person in critical condition.

Both action or inaction may either increase or lessen the likelihood of either outcome. Hence why politics is more complex than rocket science - think quantum entanglement.

Personally I've been pleasantly surprised at how well he's done, and think the media has been terribly unfair to him. However, that was then, and this is now... and if those two issues combined work together to get Trump elected, that won't be good for the nation, or the world.

Blackberries are expensive AF, but delicious, and not sure why they are in this image about phones... (/s 😜)
