You joined up on february 2024 and want to change this website? Not sus whatsoever.
If mechanically nothing is different, and those who don't like reaction scores could always turn them off, then why change it? I could not give two fucks if they stay or go but the retardation and mental gymnastics used to justify the change is laughable.
Everyone who wants to revert back/keep them is what? A dopamine fiend, an updoot addict and making the site worse?
There's a meme about gate-keeping websites and hobbies, because when the new minority start changing things, they change it at the cost of the majority. This is what seems to be happening here.
