After Reddit enshittified, they shutdown Secret Santa. Some people made a spiritual successor to it. I think Lemmy is a good place to promote it.

I always try to send at least a postcard. I missed it last year, so I really wanted to remember this year to sign up before the deadline.

I liked the idea of flair threads, but time zone issues meant I could never meaningfully participate in them, since if you didn't get in in the first hour or so you'd have missed the conversation.

You're right. In the early days, people would take the time to make sure all participants got flaired. It would be a full day, and there might be 100 comments. Eventually, it became too big, and each thread had 1,000 comments within five minutes. You can't know 1,000 people personally, and taking the time to upvote all of them was impossible.
