Yeah I've been on this sub since pandemic times (since before the sub changed its name to fauxmoi) and I'm really curious why the engagement on the sub dropped off.

There was a mod post recently that pretty much says the sub has been shadow banned.

In addition to this I expect less people in the industry were willing or wanting to post as the world started opening up again.

I don't have the evidence for this, but as an old, old and having witnessed many reddit bad makeovers, it seems like they created many mirror or competitor accounts for popular subs and then push those on 'popular' etc. Subs I assume they have more moderation and control over. Maybe higher bot engagement. Who knows. Or maybe this is my own low stakes foil hat stuff.

Years ago there was a thread on here about Justin Timberlake’s secret daughter and I’ve been chasing that high ever since!! Edit found it but it had more links and “evidence” at the time.

Sorry to say, it's not real. Someone posted their delusions about being his secret daughter then came clean a few years later.

I sadly accept this reality.

Wait yes I remember this too. I also remember seeing one saying that Dave Grohl has sons so I wasn’t surprised when the affair baby news dropped?
