I like the output of the cheaper/older models better, surprisingly, say Gemini 3.1 or DeepSeek V4. They're mostly no frills and just text, and ironically look less AI-generated to me because of the lack of hip slogans and graphics. Definitely closer to what I'd want for my own site, but I don't claim to know what people want from a website for a coffeeshop.

Why not just go to the sidebar and click on 'Simplified English'?

Facebook Connect shouldn't be your only sign-in option because some people don't have and/or don't want to have a Facebook account. Simple as that.

Not all comments. The textboards are unaffected.

You mean like /b/ was, by the end, supposed to act as a buffer on 4chan to keep out the new posters from the other boards while they were still adjusting to the local "etiquette"? That worked for a while, and then when that board became so bad that even new users wouldn't find any enjoyment in posting in it, they simply stopped lurking and carried over their bad habits to other boards. It spread through the whole site at an alarming rate. You can't try to separate the good content from the bad, or at least not for a long time because the bad always finds ways to spread, and I doubt the separation into "sub-reddits" instead of boards has any meaning in this case.

Wikipedia was created and is hosted in the US, the Wikimedia Foundation is based in the US, Jimbo Wales is American, and I'd wager a large part of en.wp visitors and editors are American. Like it or not, Wikipedia itself is US-centric.

And though it may be besides the point, you know as well as I do that if SOPA happened to pass in the US it wouldn't be long before most Western countries had their own version too.
