I didn't post about this yet - I'm one of the newest mods at r/AskHistorians! And one of the least wanted - I only got in on a runoff because they didn't elect enough people (I'm going to assume it's because few of the other mods recognized my screenname, and not that they actively dislike my postings), but as we all know, you can lose an election and still be a winner! I get to delete bad comments, and also get "FUCK THE MODS" pms (unrelated, as far as I know). I just posted my first macro response this evening to tell someone not to just drop links.

On the other hand, yesterday I got my foot caught in the computer cord, hopped several times to try to free myself, but instead of getting loose I just swung the computer around and knocked nearly everything off the table and splashed cocoa on my keyboard, and now the 1 and 2 keys are kind of sticky. :/

Watching You're the Worst lately. For a show about people diametrically opposed to me in almost every way, I really like it! Sometimes I think of it as a modern, edgy, no-magic Draco/Ginny AU. It works pretty well.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with it (although it's only been a couple of days) - most of the work's pretty easy, the current mods are overworked and really need a few more pairs of eyes to watch over the sub so they can take breaks, and it keeps from wasting time during the workday on Facebook. Like, I'm still kind of goofing off, but I just refresh the new comments/posts pages and go back to work rather than scrolling through my feed.

Also, after spending years wishing that the reenacting groups on FB would be moderated at all, it's really satisfying to remove comments on Reddit.
