I hope the reddit echo box ‘our way or the highway’, ‘everything is a pun’ mentality doesn’t transfer over as well
When someone shares a personal story about his wife’s struggle with cancer and the top reply is “I also choose this guy’s dead wife”
I imagine a non-zero number of walled off instances forming cause “they banned me for _____”
Aww, but Reddit pun threads are fun.
Agreed, I hope there is room for pun threads here too.

They’re fine when appropriate. It’s nauseating how they’re inserted everywhere.
Yeah, when a simple bots can post most of the replies. E.g.
