the text formatting tools are awful.

This is the only part of your post I don't fully agree with, but it comes down to a difference of opinion anyway, and I respect yours.

I can't even imagine registering on bitcointalk in 2020 and trying to figure out how everything works, what's expected of you, what the overall culture is like, etc. It must be baffling to newbies--and OP's thread here proves that it is to some of them.

Don't take this as criticism

Lol, everything you wrote was criticism, but it was constructive and polite and IMO on point. Bitcointalk could be far better organized, and the problem of having a real discussion with members is a genuine concern. Don't know if you know this, but most members here are motivated to post on the forum because they're in signature campaigns or bounties. Thus they don't usually read anything but the title of a thread and respond to that, regardless of whether the issue/question has been answered or anything else. It's madness sometimes.

There is no good news. We'll just have to suck it up. Well, I guess that's kind of a good news. If you can survive here then the rest of the Internet is a piece of gluten-free cake.

OP, all of the above is probably true. Theymos doesn't make many changes to the forum, and when he does things usually end up with bitcointalk functioning even more like a Rube Goldberg contraption than they already do.
