I thought the start is tomorrow?

Correct. OP jumped the gun on this post.

Given that there are currently 655/5279 already private, no, they didn't jump the gun.

Edit: 1 minute later already 658.

Edit: 2 minutes later 661.

Edit: 2 3/4 hours later 840.

I also keep coming back to the metaphor that Reddit is a great deal like Gormenghast: an ancient, stony fortification of cobbled-together structures, housing a gaggle of idiosyncratic personas whose lives are filled with the performances of abstruse rituals and obligations, the mandatory detritus of a former glory — insular and in a state of glacial decadence, and which nevertheless has a secondary community plastered on its boundary, with which it perfunctorily yet regularly interacts AND YET all of which exists within a much wider world that has largely diverged from it.

I think about the Tower of Flints.
