I thought that too, but it made the top spot in their rankings even in reverse, so I guess it's still recognizable enough.

Pie Is Awesome, apparently. :-P
For the same reason that the January 6 protesters call themselves "patriots", dumb anti-vaxxers call themselves "smart", violent people call themselves "peaceful", naive conspiracy theory believing idiots call themselves "woke", etc. It is easy to think that you know the answer, and really, Really, REALLY hard to acknowledge how little we truly know. Likewise we all want to think of ourselves as the "good" people, and it's a super tough pill to swallow that we are not.
Which ironically is what many people say that Christianity is truly about:
There is no one who does "good", no, not one single one. All have missed the mark, and fallen short.
- Jesus
That's what makes matters so complicated to try to address - e.g. sometimes cops are racist themselves, directly, but other times they are not and yet still any race-blind application of "enforcement" is going to merely reinforce the racist policies of society.

How long until we reach recursion-ception? :-P
Tbf their world was about to end, so uh... yes please!:-P
Love the recursion.:-)
I'm a relative newcomer myself, just from the time of the protests, and yeah I am also making multiple accounts. My Kbin one I even gave up on almost entirely, but you never know when it may come in handy:-).
I wonder how much of the development issues are related to the choice of languages, if it unnecessarily restricts the number of people who can help, or the political stance of the originator turning people away who are unwilling because of that. But Kbin, Mbin, and other spin-offs are happening, and even Threads and whatnot, so it does seem to be happening, just slowly.
And the interface is somewhat good even now, okay so not quite so "stable" but as you said, that was mostly from DDoS so understandable that it could take some greater difficulty to turn those away.
I expect great things in its future:-).
But either way I'm not likely to leave. (And even if I did, I still would never return to Reddit!:-P)
But it was damn funny regardless!:-P
I wouldn't mind if like I told my phone to send out a signal "I am a man, but I like cold tea". Partnering together with the machine to help me buy something I will enjoy is truly helpful.
Consent makes all the difference in the world.
No I wasn't! Full disclosure: NOW I am! :-D
