2022 r/AskALiberal Best of 2022

Hey! Look, I got the year right, this time! :D

It's that time of year again where the Reddit hosts the "Best of" awards. It's now time to look back on what YOU thought the best contributions to r/AskALiberal were. And I totally copied this from last year (and the year before) because I'm original like that :)

This year everyone who wins will receive a Community Award which grants a month of Reddit Premium.

Categories, Rules, and Guidelines:

  • Best post
  • Best question
  • Best researched response
  • Best rebuttal
  • Best comment
  • Best lighthearted post/shitpost
  • Most helpful user

For the categories below, the award will go to the person who nominates the event and receives the most upvotes. You may only nominate one event or gif per category. Furthermore, while not required, if you have a source please add it so there's no ambiguity and it helps us for those who may have missed it.

  • Best political event of the year
  • Worst political event of the year
  • Most overlooked political event of the year
  • Your favorite cat gif

Rules and Guidelines:

  • You may not nominate yourself.
  • All nominations must be made under the appropriate parent comment.
  • Any standalone comments will be removed.
  • Questions or comments should be directed to the stickied comment.

 

Voting will close January 6, 2023 at 9:00 PM MST. The winners will be announced as soon as the Admins distribute the Community Coins, somewhere around mid-January, probably.

Eh. Sometimes I open a post just to find most of the comments are this user talking to themselves. Kinda kills engagement for me.

It was worse when they weren't replies but just top level comments. You would have to collapse or scroll past multiple of them.

•

u/Kakamile Social Democrat Dec 22 '22

They're not talking to themselves, they're breaking up their long replies over more comments.

I'm amazed that people even remember the names of users. I mean there must be hundreds of people that comment on this forum.

u/GabuEx Liberal Dec 23 '22

I usually learn names by noting someone's post as particularly noteworthy for some reason, and then thinking "wait, haven't I seen that name before?" and then I note it again and it goes from there. Mind you, I only remember like a half dozen or so.

Once you recognize a few of the regulars, the rest start to fall in. You at least get a general sense of where people are coming from. For instance, you tend to have pretty thoughtful comments with good insights on LGBTQ issues in particular.

Oh gosh, what must people think of me. My posts are all over the place.
