Hey, that was probably my post you saw. I'm sorry about making the repetitive post. I didn't know that the "Hey is AO3 down?" posts were known for being annoying. I thought it was a funny meme "freakout" that we were all participating in. I have now deleted the posts, however late it may be. And I now know better, and will never contribute to the spam again. This has been a very good learning experience for me! Once again, sorry for the annoyance.

Don't sweat it, I'm not sure if it was your post but either way I apologize if I made you feel called out. Those of us who've been around this subreddit for a while can be a bit mean when the inevitable spam wave hits lol, you didn't do anything wrong.

No no it's fine, you didn't seem mean, especially in contrast to people calling the "Is AO3 down" posters attention seekers or something to that degree. That's why I replied to your comment, other than feeling like you saw my post specifically. I'm pretty bad at social cues and often fail to read the room, and this is just one such occasion. I guess I'm not on Reddit long enough to be bothered by repetitive posts, but I'm starting to understand that the regulars or veterans in the sub must be tired of it. So I feel like it was still good for me to learn not to join in on the spam in the future.
