That makes more sense than my initial interpretation, but why the random aspect at all?
You mean "arbitrary", not "random" right?
I don't see how a randomly chose picture from reddit would be something the user would likely be interested in.
No one has problems with not backing up their data until they find themselves in a position where backing up their data could have saved a lot of grief.
I recommend making an account on the instance of the community you're moderating as owner due to wierd federation effects on moderation actions.
Academic fraud is in no way a thing that is limited or even disproportionately prevalent in China. Perhaps the flavors of it are biased to one form or another in different cultures, but don't mistake that for more or less fraud in that culture. Perhaps you notice more from China simply because there are simply more Chinese people in the world than any other nation behind Indian people in India.
Incentives matter in any system. The incentives are perverse right now.
There was a whole season of The Wire that was dedicated to the theme of news publications demanding that more be done with less as budgets were cut. Craigslist was a major factor in the trend as it cut revenue severely for local publications.

I also like having the edit post choice right next to the delete post choice, especially since there's no confirmation dialogue when selecting delete post.
Relevant information:
GovTrack.us posted about the bill in question:
Appropriations legislation covering a bit less than half of the overall funding needs of the federal government was passed by the Senate 75-22 around dinner time on Friday 3/8. The bill was signed the next morning by the President. Even though technically Biden did so after the Friday midnight deadline, the government never shutdown for even a few hours.
The Science section of the bill contains the majority of the Science related appropriations.
GovTrack.us also provided links to summaries of the bill from The New York Times by Catie Edmondson and The American Prospect by David Dayen.

The Devils should fire their coach.

The biggest thing that PieFed has done is get up and running on public data with new accounts open to the public. This trial by fire will make it fail fast or become much improved. It seems that the main developer is quite experienced and has thought about architecture and improvements that have already been implemented. I think it's promising for all of these reasons.
My biggest potential concern is that moderation tools have not been implimented yet (unless the were very recently).
As far as Python being difficult in larger systems, this can be mitigated by experience and good practice. But I tend to agree that Python is typically not the ideal choice for a large project.

The Toronto Maple Leafs' recent focus on 'grit' is proving costly to addressing their depth scoring issues during the 2023-24 season.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with gritty players, but those players need to perform on top of their physical play.

Miller, Tom Wilson, and the Tkachuk brothers revered for holding their own physically while providing offensive as well. > > > > That’s where Toronto has gone wrong. The grit they have added and targeted over the past few seasons has been somewhat skillless.

If so, how should we go about it?

Do teams with harder shots score more goals above expected? Where do the most goals come from? Let's break it down.
A few weeks ago, the NHL finally unleashed its long-awaited player tracking data onto the public. Now it’s time to dissect what it all means.
Sometimes, all it means is “that’s cool!” — and that’s OK. Sometimes a fun little tidbit is all a stat has to be. But it’s still worth looking into how meaningful all the new numbers are and what bucket they fall into: relevant info or interesting trivia.
Each new stat poses its own interesting questions worth answering and that’s the goal of this series; diving into the new data to see how much it matters.
Let’s talk about shooting.
