Whether you love or hate it, everyone should pop into one at least once, its a real experience. Though the jerky is pricey its one of my favorite road snacks to grab

Yeah, ran into this for baseball communities, its tough to gain some critical mass to compete with an r/baseball if they remain splintered

Just from an insurance rate POV I’m glad to see this

It’s tough, if you want to prioritize owner-occupied homes there are several ways to do that (larger tax on secondary properties, bigger homestead exemption, etc), but it may just cause rents to go higher as investors pass along the costs

11 years on reddit and seeing its long slow decline its just sad. A return to the basics was very necessary. Removing subs from r/all, messing with the voting, “new” reddit, a clamp down on content…it just kept getting worse and worse.

Your comments and posts will probably be seen by more people than in the “viral or bust” of a bigger site. It’s a totally different kind of usage and definitely makes me feel more engaged
