    I think it should be "Fuck beta" so we never forget the bullshit that caused soylent news to exist in the first place.

    I object. A meme, by its very nature, is a piece of ethos that potentially transcends the authors or social group which gave birth to it. Now, from this perspective:
    * why should we extend the trauma over the aeons to come?
    * I mean... look at the Northern Ireland for example. Do you really want your grandkids to remember and always be resentful towards the dice followers?

    I disagree. Although Fuck Beta is still often directed at Dice I think it also has a larger meaning. A stand against change for the sake of monetizing and ruining something wonderful for the sake of some money grubbing corporate overlord sons of bitches. You digg? See, that one didn't stand the test of time, but I think Fuck Beta might. Shit, I almost feel like I should trademark Fuck Beta and sue everyone who uses it as some sort of quixotic meta protest against corporatism run amok.

    Or not.

    P.S. I think I'm going to snack on some Olives and Feta.
