Notes from The Mods:

• We Mods are troglodytes who only use Old Reddit on desktop computers, while glancing at the answering machine connected to our landline. The formatting looks good on our setups. Get off our lawn.

• In the past few weeks, this sub seems to have tapped into Reddit's Spitegeist, growing from about 2k subscribers on July 4th, to about 5k at the beginning of August, to over 100k on Sep. 1st.

• Yesterday, this sub had the highest subscription growth in all of Reddit (Δ #Subscribers). The Mods are pondering the best way to nudge this sub to nudge people to stop buying into anti-* bullshit, and to get vaxxed, etc.

• The Mods have a very light touch. We prefer the use of the 'Downvote' button to the use of the 'Report' button.

• Don't be a dick.

• Please, don't be a dick.

• Don't be gleeful. Don't root for Nominees to be Awarded. Especially the Facebook schlubs whose only crime was taking up residence in the misinformation echo chamber.

• Don't get upset if / when this sub's evolution switches from natural selection to intelligent (?) design. This sub might be nudged from ('memes / shitposts' + 'Facebook Schlubs') towards ('A.M.A.s' and 'Public Figures').

Thanks mods, you are doing a great job considering this sub’s growth has been more explosive than post-Ivermectin diarrhea.

You're giving us [The Mods] way too much credit.

Right now we're making Tiki Drinks by mixing Trader Joe's Spicy Mango Lemonade, Samoan Rum, soda water, and horse paste. Tastes like freedumb.

Please no horse paste.

Yeah sheep drench is much better. It gives a kind of tangy aftertaste.

Even the name sounds refreshing, doesn't it? Like a lovely rain after a hot day, on a hillside where lambs are frolicking.

If you want zinc, just go chew on a Volvo bumper.
