If distracted walking can give me the power to finally recruit and train the Royal Spider Battalion then this missive has had the opposite of its intended effect.

For context: Class 1 & 2 ebikes are limited to 20mph and generally aren't what people are thinking of when they're complaining about giant ebikes. The problem is that the difference between a class 2&3 is generally just a software speed limiter that is usually ridiculously easy to switch off.

For the longest time I thought the complaint you're referring to was things not showing up in the subscription feed. I was extremely surprised when I realized it was stemming from people completely ignoring that feed's existence.
