I really hate to accept that exposing assy words and behavior just makes it worst, but it’s hard to argue with that example.

The way the internet enables awful outliers to find each other and organize really makes one question whether it was ever a good idea.

When a person’s words makes then look like an ass, I’m not sure that giving them more exposure is “promoting” them.

The question is what does OP mean by 'heavy’and what benefit do they hope to get from a ‘lighter’ shell. Memory or performance seems inconsequential in this case, but how about attack surface? Is there some benefit from a security standpoint of running a simpler shell?
