Having 0 or negative karma is a barrier to posting. Some subs completely disallow posting if you don’t meet a threshold, but even outside of those subs you still run into things like having your comments held up in the spam queue until they are manually reviewed.

So having a bit of karma allows them to post their scam and/or spam links and have a chance of being visible.

I use Unexpected Keyboard when I’m working in Termux. It’s Open Source and does allow some layout customization.

Unfortunately it doesn’t support “glide/swipe typing” so I find it doesn’t replace Gboard for everyday usage.

I’m a fan of the very light, widget-only AF Weather. All it does is a chart showing temp & precipitation for the next 24hrs. I like it more than “hourly” forecasts in other apps, but it is pretty niche.

Is this really the content that we want for @news ?

Yes, overwhelmingly so, it seems:

Does that make it better or worse to keep using it?

Neat history, I guess? Still seems to be an abhorrent label to self identity with.
