I really liked having unless in Ruby; a ! can be easy to miss, while unless made it clear without needing to write out != true.

This is a good thing, the faster and harder reddit crashes, the more people will move to better platforms which are run not by corporations leaching money from entirely user created content while making the experience actively worse (long before this latest incident).

Reddit backtracking for half a year and turning up the heat slower was the worst case outcome.
