I was watching a review of the GOP debates by some US political junkies just last week and one of the hosts said that Vivek knows he doesn't have a chance but is using this presidential run to get exposure for his planned foray into right wing talk show host. Something like Tucker or Alex Jones.

Great bang for your buck with free news media advertising by pretending to run for president and saying crazy stuff.

After hearing he wanted to start his own right wing talk show his character and mannerisms made so much more sense.

Have they announced how they come to these numbers?

Are they actual combat deaths or do they take into account surrenders and injuries substantial enough to be taken off the field?

Fantastic idea to see what else is out there.

One of the issues I've seen recently with kbin.social website is my subscribed feeds getting drowned out by CATS!!!

Don't get me wrong I love cats but I'm subbbed to about 30 magazine but occasionally kbin decides to fill the entire subscribed feed with posts from m/cats . Hopefully Atremis can be a little bit more broad in terms of which posts from magazines it presents upfront.

I've seen a dog create a similar masterpiece in just one afternoon by chewing the entire trim off a door frame.

Another important difference is the "reputation score" for each user profile.

• Favourites (up arrow) on posts and comments do not contribute in any way to reputation.
• Reduce (down arrow) does reduce your reputation by 1 point
• Boost (bottom of comments) increases your reputation by 1 point.

I understand the reasoning why the devs separated favourites and boosts but your average user (especially reddit refugees) do not understand this. I think that reputation should also include favourites in the calculation.

I personally use reputation as an indicator that I'm contrbuting in a postive way to a community not really as a winning "fake internet points" thing.
