You think that your own experiences stand for everybody while it's actually representing anything byt you, which is quite near from the nil. He clearly suffers from NPD. I believe this is due to ignorance of experience. With such little real world experience one conjures up their own fabricated sense of reality that revolves around themselves. Such people lack the ability to understand others experiences and write them off because they do not coincide with their own. It's a form of the god complex, yet clearly these people are not god and generally not even that intelligent, experienced in life , etc, or happen just to be good at one thing which they treat as the only thing that matters; which is illogical and insane but very convenient for them. No his condition is not NPD. The other day he said publicly on IRC what it's but I don't remember the exact name. But it's serious, e.g you can find it in the DSM-5, with a specific code, designation etc. Let's close this discussion for real this time. I'm sorry for the trolling but at a time i wanted to be right for this stupid story of academic license...

Oh, the people are terrible, but the platform is worse - I don't like the tree view nor the voting system. It makes it really hard to follow developing discussions and judge the content for yourself. I'm someone who either reads the whole thread and tries to respond holistically or just doesn't post at all (usually), so segmenting the thread into subthreads with new stuff popping up in the middle at random where it is really hard to actually find it (sometimes I search a reddit page for "minutes ago"...) just kills it. Reddit encourages hyper fragmentation and repeating the same opinions over and over again.

I opened a thread on reddit about this, in case you are interested ;-) https://www.reddit.com/r/d_language/comments/4vel7m/can_we_kill_the_dlang_bot_and_its_ghost_threads I added my thoughts to that thread. You should probably post this in general as well, as few people are going to see your announcement here. I wouldn't ask what people think though. I'd just say you've started doing it. Anyone is free to post discussions in that subreddit.

The D ng isn't perfect, but it is basically OK. I do think some of us ought to use a bit more discretion when posting, and it might help for some of us to call things out... or sometimes be quiet and not feed the trolls, but for the most part it is decent here.

I am not sure whether CyberShadow has the time to add this feature, so I doubt this will come in the near future without someone volunteering and implementing it. The code is here, so if anyone wants to send him a PR: https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed From recent experiences one should definitely get the okay of Andrei & Walter first that such a huge change is wanted.
