The best discord support servers have a wiki they regularly update with the solutions they’ve helped people solve, though sometimes by just including them in their how-to guides. At least, that’s the case with certain console homebrew/modding communities.

Note that the lawyers are claiming this about the email, and we don’t know what the email says.

A power user is someone who tries to leverage features of systems and/or software to more efficiently or effectively interact with the platform/service they are a user of far moreso than the average user. Because users of third party apps on Reddit are the extreme minority (just look at official app downloads VS TPAs), they’re typically considered power users, as they are willing to go out of their way to make their experience better, even if it’s just downloading and setting up their app.

Power users also tend to be more active users; if you use something more, you’re more likely to want to improve the experience of using it. Someone who pays for extra features to leverage more power is probably someone who uses the platform/service a lot more than the average user.

They’re called a power user because they’re leveraging power by doing more to exploit (not a negative term here) potential out of what they have as a user; at least, that’s how I interpret the phrase.

Tag me as well! I hope to have something with half the functionality of your setup by year’s end.

A concept shared by both of these examples is that of the commons. You believe in an information commons, specifically as it pertains to medicine. A lot of users in the FOSS space believe in a technological commons.

I’m not going to delve too extensively into the political and philosophical definitions around the commons; there’s a wealth of economic and political anthropology dissecting the successes of the commons, how they tend to operate, and their potential place in future economies of the world. If you want a very brief primer, David Bollier’s Think Like a Commoner is a good start; it’s quick, inexpensive, and there’s an audiobook if that’s your jam.

I didn’t know DDG introduced that feature. That’s sick honestly. They even have bangs for my more obscure wikis.
