Comment on Hello fellow baseball nerds in ~sports.baseball
gregCubed LinkGo Dodgers indeed! I do find myself missing the r/NLBest and my other teams' subs pretty often, but I think I'm okay spouting off my nonsense takes into twitter at the moment. Looking forward to...Go Dodgers indeed! I do find myself missing the r/NLBest and my other teams' subs pretty often, but I think I'm okay spouting off my nonsense takes into twitter at the moment. Looking forward to seeing how the discussion here turns out. Although, I normally prefer writing out my online work without proper capitalization and the like. using that with normal grammar feels so formal and writing like this feels so much more my style

Comment on I, like many of you came from Reddit. But what brought you to Reddit? in ~tech

I still have an account there, and use it to quickly upload images, but I ditched browsing their gallery years ago in favor of actually browsing reddit. I guess since that was something you could do from imgur's gallery anyway (and all of the popular posts on reddit showed up in the imgur popular gallery anyway), I started moving over there, especially when imgur's native app came out (and it sucked massive cheeks, just like reddit's native app now).
Made/joined a couple communities, firstly for clash of clans, then for some smaller communities I made with friends over Minecraft, before joining some of the larger sports subreddits, and from there my usage kinda snowballed. It was a great timesink, until they killed off the 3PA... now I only use it for tech deals and occasional sports discussion when I'm not on other SM.
I will miss a lot of the inside jokes that reddit had, but this site is kinda refreshing in that most of the discussion is well-written. At the least, it seems like it takes a little more thought to write out responses, instead of just flinging names and repeating the same jokes at each other. (Which, to be fair, have their place... but sometimes structured responses are just nice to have, ya know?)
This has gotta be up there with some of the greatest all-time walk off HRs to win a game, let alone a series.
The call is also excellent; so many critical moments are ruined by the call. Not even a Tigers fan, but one of my favorite calls for a moment that doesn't involve my favorite team.
