MODERATORS
 

Old habits die hard, but there's Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die.

Many "golden-age" redditors remember a time when downvoting was reserved for hostility, not a different opinion. For the sake of our growing community I would like to implore everyone to be awesome to each other.

However, this place is not Reddit.

  • We don't measure in bananas here.
  • We don't need to append "edit: typo" to edited posts and comments.
  • if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don't engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.

What's so wrong about using bananas for scale?

That's their thing. You don't take your new partner to the spot where you fell in love with your ex. That's just weird.

That seems like a weird comparison...

Hey, when a banana is involved with love, there is nothing weirder, and more beautiful.

Not so sure about nothing weirder...

I'd most certainly do that if that spot was simply a romantic location I enjoyed, and it wouldn't be weird unless I also kept talking about my ex.

"Look, honey, I know a spot that's great, but we can't go there because I used to go with my ex and I don't like bringing up my ex everytime like my ex did, you don't deserve that because you're more than her"

I think I'd feel weird even if she doesn't know about it. I'd also probably avoid calling her by her name just in case.
