Viewing from another instance, it is still pinned. Fediverse, go!
Done? Time to unpin? Are those stupid questions?
Why would you run a business if your name wasn’t plastered all over it? Tim Apple isn’t stupid.
A typical Internet scammer would have at least pretended to offer some money before stealing the username.

It’s kind of big red dot, but not bright which I’m grateful for.

You’re right, Reddit has a lot of established communities. But if you were going to start a new community? I think it’s all downhill from here.
My Toyota touch-screen stopped responding to my touch after 11 years.
To be fair I’ve got shortcuts I reflexively use and clicked on Google links. It’s like quitting smoking and visiting your relatives who smoke? IDK
American isn’t a race!
My imagination is that old.reddit.com was cheaper to serve than whatever it is they are doing now. Maybe they make less ad revenue?
The letters I and C?
