    There was a bit of drama on tumblr (owned by Automattic) not too long ago where a relatively well known trans blogger got banned as a part of an alleged harassment campaign. I recall Matt Mullenwag (Automattic’s CEO) being accused of following the user on to other platforms and harassing them. There were also accusations of, IIRC, tumblr staff taking payments to ban users. Which isn’t great. So if my memory is accurate, your gut feeling is probably right.

    Edit: typo, slleged -> alleged


  • Tabs let you define how big you want each indent to be, and spaces do not.

    Spaces can too: Simply use more or less of them, to taste.

    I have ADHD. Two spaces per indent makes it damn near impossible for me to scan code.

    Then use four, or six, or eight, or 20. Hell, most code I’ve seen uses four spaces per indent anyway.

    [Re: braille]

    Surely there’s an editor out there that will automatically display indent spaces as a tab character. Or failing that it seems like it would be rather trivial create a program to convert n spaces to tabs, and vice versa.
