Good stuff! Glad to see it’s still increasing now after Reddit’s pulled the plug on 3rd party apps and protests have quieted down.

We love the blue! Support our troops! National security! No, not like that…

A lot of good suggestions here. I miss /r/Formula1, but that’s probably too niche for Beehaw at this point. That got me thinking along the lines of “motorsports,” with would be nice and broad. A wildcard option is “livesports” where people can discuss, well, sports that are live. Live threads when watching live sports are fun.

The future of the internet isn't artificially scarce digital collectibles? 😲

Would love to see a list of large subreddits that aren't participating and the statements (if any) they put out explaining why.

I still like IRC and I’m surprised that it got almost completely murdered by Discord.

Thanks for being so transparent about all this.

I think the verification period is, in practice, not something out of the ordinary. Two examples come to mind: 1. In many (most?) larger Facebook groups, you're asked to answer questions and your application gets manually assessed by a moderator before being let in. Very similar to how it works here. 2. While you can get a new reddit account in seconds, you are blocked from many subreddits for 24> hours as an anti-spam/trolling measure and there are often karma thresholds for subreddits as well.

The first week or so with a new reddit account really sucks, but here I'm up and running without any artificial restrictions within hours of submitting my signup form.
