As far as I can tell I was replying to you, I agree that NMS had those things at launch

If things continue the way it has been, never would be the best estimate of a release date.

Depending on the last time you logged into a session, the current status is between playable and entertaining and nightmare of lag/desync issues making it something most people would want to avoid

In a purely technical sense, if CIG locked the code branch and set 100% of the creative teams to the task, the current system could replicate a Starfield level game and do so in a seamless manner.

It wouldn't be without issues but something I consider plausible

I have a strong suspicion the project will fall to development hell and never really be completed in the sense other games are.

A good point, and the popularity and sales of NMS reflect that

Star citizen has been able to do "all that" for at least 4 years, and most consider it a glorified tech demo

In Star citizen you can also do all those things with other players too

If you think "they aren't close yet" it might be worth trying it out during one of the free fly events - the only cost is your time to download and play it.
Having an opinion is fine, having an informed opinion is better

So basically, Reddit wants you to work for free, to moderate content provided to them for free by users and if you don't do it the specific way they want you to they'll kick you?

sounds like a recipe for success

Fresh RSS is what I use, self hosted and the mobile web interface negates the need for an app. Though there is an app, I'm not a fan of it

After getting burned by Google killing Reader I decided to never use a 3rd party service again, and FreshRSS has served me well for years.
