I thought with all the drama and negativity it would be good to take stock of some positive things people got from Reddit. One of my faves was reading Woody Harrelson's crazy trainwreck AMA

There is always a live discussion thread in r/shudder every Friday when The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is running new episodes in early summer. There's usually like 100-150 people participating, but there is a core group of I'd say 20 of us who've been there every single time since 2018/2019.

The composition of the participants all seem to be primarily 30- and 40-somethings who grew up watching Joe Bob's Drive-In Theater or MonsterVision. There's a special vibe in that space I don't experience elsewhere. There's a discord watchalong every week, and folks also live tweet, but the Reddit live discussion crew has its own energy that I super appreciate.

Let's hope similar cultures pop up here too. I wonder of some of that just takes time. This reminded me of refreshing r/freefolk and other Game of Thrones subreddits during live airings of the latter seasons, and the jokes and stuff was fun to see unfold, with years of folded in memes and in-jokes. Good times.
