But the protests made it clear that letting moderators make their communities private at their discretion “could be used to harm Reddit at scale” and that work on this feature was “accelerated” because of the protests.

Because Reddit admins deserved that harm. We've handed them all this free data and resource and they decided it was theirs.

That's only the alcohol stuff, lol. I also do sourdough, yogurt, other natural sodas, and lacto pickles.

The key is to only get the red guts and avoid anything slightly white

Did that

definitely dont boil the juice either or youll get a carrot flavor

I did heat pasteurize, but not boil. Just 160/180F (I can't remember exactly).

it’ll taste almost like cucumber

Eh, I'm not getting cucumber. Maybe? It's mostly just SOUR with some watermelon notes.

a bit of back sweetening makes the watermelon flavor come back with a vengeance.

this is what I'm thinking

Success - Blond smash. Once again proves that 5 weeks in the bottle is a magic number. 4 weeks? Eh. 5 weeks? AMAZING.

Failure - Watermelon wine. It's just sour. Not in a good way, at all. Tastes kinda like the rind, though there was no rind in it. Maybe backsweetening?

Waiting - choc hazelnut porter. choc comes thru, hazelnut not at all. Needs more aging time. I feel like darker beers need more time. It's almost 3 months, gonna test it.

Fermenting - ginger bugged root beer. Made root beer syrup to make root beer soda. Was ok, needs work. Remaining half into a 1 gal fermenter. It was due 2 weeks ago, but it's fine. It'll need back sweetening and bottle carb, but that'll be another drumroll 5 weeks.

On deck - It's time for a holiday beer. Something spiced. IDK what. It takes 2 months, so it'll be ready early December if I start now. Hmm...

Nothing so meme lord. Pure watermelon. It's so sour, and not in a good way. It tastes like underripe watermelon rind. It probably didn't need acid added and it should be back sweetened.

I assumed it was just a branding change. Was it something more than that?

Lol, that makes sense. They have completely different philosophies on business. Morhaime was gaming first, Kotick was greed first.

FTA:

According to Schreier, the problems began immediately after Activision purchased Blizzard in 2007.

That makes sense. I've been in companies that changed owners. The change starts when the new people walk in, but it takes time to "turn the ship" so to speak. It will turn, but it takes time. The corruption is slow, boiling-frog style.

Yes, spawn. Amazing.

Had no idea this was coming out. Thought it was fake at first glance.

Nope. It's real. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14824600/
