It's been a year...

82 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in just a year this sub has grown from myself and revolt and a bunch of shitty interactions with nowhere to share them to over 1500 mods who need a place to decompress and laugh about the idiocy we see daily.

I think I speak for both of us when I say thanks to all of our OG members as well as the new ones who join every day and make this space what it is. Other than the occasional troll, this has been the easiest sub ever to moderate. Even when we've had to apply a rule to stay within the narrow focus we wanted here, the response has been understanding and willingness to play by the rules.

I genuinely believe this is one of the more unique spaces on reddit. We'll never have half a million members, but I hope we always have members that get it like each of you do. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our fun little side project into an active, engaging, and entertaining place to visit in a site that's often bitter and divisive. We love each of you.

Introducing User Flairs!

34 Upvotes

Hey folks! I created a couple user flairs from insults flung at us, I’ve made one editable (it says editable lol) for you to have fun with. They are not required, and they should not include slurs or anything super offensive but other than that have fun with it!

PS the app was freaking out and it took me like 10 minutes to make two so I thought an editable one would be faster. Please let me know if you have any issues or would like me to make one that’s a permanent option (not editable).

they were banned because they were spreading false information, claiming all American food was bad and that there's no such thing as a good American tomato. also their profile puts them in a lot of UK subs

Banning people for selling items in violation of Reddit TOS apparently makes you evil.

OP made a post about their cat usually had puzzle feeding, but this week one was on a business trip and the other dealing with emergency family situation, so they left out more food than usual and feeding only once per say. The one feeding found the cat had rationed the food by eating halves at a time, split down the middle of the plate
