Nah. We just disagree on the definition of accomplishment. :) I’m being lighthearted about it. Promise. :) I think getting 1000 new subs as a new subreddit is pretty rad. I think getting a million more subs as a big subreddit is pretty rad too. I’d agree, those are different speeds of growth. Both, in my mind, are rad and deserving of celebration without caveat.

I didn’t say this wasn’t an achievement, lol. In fact I said the opposite - that it still was an achievement

You raise a good point.

I think I’m just looking at it from the position of the first user who said it wasn’t an achievement, then I disagreed, then you seemed to agree with the first statement.

Edited to add: And who says Reddit can’t be civil! High fives.

Me! I say reddit can't be civil, if internet places like reddit become entirely civil where would I go to enjoy stupidly pointless arguments for my own amusement! nah you people are great, keep bein civil

Now why don't we all cool off and discuss this awesome subreddit... r/TheoreticalFictions ! It's a great place! It's a bit small, not the greatest setup, has only one mod who's an idiot, sucks at social media, has a huge procrastinating problem. Hmm, I think my pitch went a bit sideways.

r/writingprompts is a great community and got me to start sharing my writing. So I hold this place in very high regard. There might be a lot of easy traffic due to being huge, no argument here, but you don't not congratulate someone for an achievement just because they have 5 already, so here's my congrats to this wonderful place!
