I voted for Gary Johnson. Hateful leftists call me every day to ask where Aleppo is. How am I supposed to know? It isn’t labeled on the globe I hide my weed in. My life has become a living hell.

Wow, that IS unpleasant.

I think I just have to wait until they make it possible to merge my old AVC account (don’t have a Disqus), at which point it’ll be automatic. Hopefully.

I don’t have a proper Disqus account to link, only an “AVC Legacy”, so I think I am stuck in The Grey Waste until they roll out the ability to merge those.

I get the rationale. I find trolls easy to ignore and think insularity and cliquishness are larger threats to the health of the typical online community, so the cost/benefit ratio of this “pending” stuff seems highly unfavorable to me. I suspect this is a minority viewpoint.

You are.

Part of the problem is that people often freak out over major design changes even when they’re *not* terrible. Designers and tech teams tend to learn this lesson a bit too well, and become immune to negative feedback in the cases where the change really does suck.
