I think people tend to choose the more unique/recognizable name to call candidates by. For example, we also call Bernie Sanders by his first name more often than his last. “Harris” is a more common name than “Kamala”. “Clinton” could be confused for Bill, but “Hillary” isn’t going to be mistaken. I don’t think it has anything to do with the candidate’s gender.

I, too, think that the best way to get people on my side is to burn their homes and livelihoods down. /s

As long as they don’t give the milk to their innocent children either…

I’m just about to reach a month too. Joined as soon as I heard Reddit was killing Apollo, the main way I used Reddit.

It makes so little sense to me. They could have charged a reasonable amount and made some money off of the apps, but instead, they chose to kill them and lose their users. Some might migrate to the official app, but this uproar may have caused even more to leave the platform entirely.
