20 years ago these were great. Now? Ye gods I’m too old for that tiny stuff.

How is your son? 😁

Mod of small (~26,000 users) sub. We’ll be staying dark indefinitely. Talking to my other mods for other subs and recommending they do the same. We’re tiny but hopefully it sends a message to our users.

Remember secret Santa?

I was talking to my tech kids (programmers for a very well known company) I told them how puzzled I was. The guy that created secret Santa was gung-ho to create a new one the second reddit announced they were closing it down. Then he disappeared.

The kids then explained non-compete and why it’s always included with contracts.

Reddit closed secret Santa down but wouldn’t let him bring a similar thing back.

Why? What is wrong with them?

PS this is conjecture only I haven’t spoken to him as he truly is MIA

I know that even after my small (~26,000 users) went dark I STILL received a spam posting!

So dark means nothing to spam bots unfortunately
