Ah the scorned Reddit mod in the wild. No doubt you caught this one freshly off a demotion and possible permanent suspension... and the girl? This is the first time she's convinced him to go on a date night in two months. Thank you for not interrupting them!

Was this the guy?
Even before clicking the links I immediately knew exactly who you guys were referring to. The internet has ruined me.
I blame Reddit.
Why not both?
As much as I (a woman) would love to find literallyanyone else in my real life to commiserate about reddit, I can't help but feel bad for the woman in this brief story! LOL
Also, since most of my colleagues and social contacts are women, I've been the person aggressively explaining and cornering them inadvertantly!
if it makes everyone feel better, these 2 people were freely walking down an open sidewalk; nobody was cornered and she appeared to be reasonably consenting to the conversation.
while I was contemplating inserting myself into their convo, them I did have a train of thought rationalizing that I would really be doing this lady a favor by providing an alternate target for this... but it wasn't quite enough to push me past my millennial tendencies of only communicating via text. i'm sure she was fine, she either already knew what kind of guy this was, or has now learned and will make her decisions accordingly.
We have a news thing which runs on our trams and I saw Reddit on there pretty much the last day I had spent on it. First time I‘ve seen it in news outside of tech magazines.
Hopefully the last time too, cause I want to see ActivityPub/fediverse now, I want no more of this company money making crap in my social media.
I've had this same impassioned speech with all of my friends/acquaintances.
None of them (well, one) was the slightest bit interested. 🤷♂️
To save you all some time, it's a listcle that was last updated on February 27, 2022.
That being said, it lists /r/AskReddit as the third most popular subreddit, which is plausible.
How is /r/Announcements more popular?
Because everyone is subbed to it at account creation and I doubt that's one most people would ever leave.
