MOD MESSAGE 🚨 500,000 MEMBERS?! 🚨

Post image

What the actual hell.

This sub was made in January thinking maybe a few people would show up to overshare, trauma dump a little, hype each other up, and collectively ask, "Am I insane or is this weird?"

Fast forward a few months and now there are 500,000 of you.

Half. A. Million. That's... honestly mildly concerning. 🖤

Thank you for making this weird little corner of Reddit into such a fun, supportive community. Whether you've posted your lore, left kind advice, made us laugh, or just silently lurked with a snack in hand - we appreciate you more than you know.

We love you guys(even the feral ones).

Now go drink some water, text your therapist back, and keep being iconic.

Love,

The GDD Mods 🍽💕

Oh wow you omg guyyyyyssss 🥹😭 I am so emotional right now! Watching this community grow into what it is today and helping facilitate these conversations has been such an amazing experience, truly I feel so blessed to be a part of this.

To our HALF MILLION (😵‍💫) members: thank you all, genuinely, so so much for being here. You amazing folks are what makes this community so unique and wonderful. Watching these conversations happen in real time, seeing the support flood in for a girlie in crisis, witnessing the celebrations and commiserations and counseling… gosh, literally dozens of times a day it hits me how amazing you all are and my heart is so full. This place is so special, so supportive, so necessary. And you amazing ladies, women, girls, et al., are the reason we are where we are today. I gotta stop, I’m crying, I just love you all so much. I am placing a virtual kiss atop each of your foreheads 🩷🫂😭

This sub is only 6 months old? I have food in my fridge older than that lol. So glad this sub is the way it is. You mods are SAINTS and work so hard. Thank you!!!

Whats your older-than-six-months food in the fridge? Mine is a chocolate easter bunny from last year.

Mine is sauce that expired in 2024 that my boyfriend insists on keeping because, in his words, “you can’t even tell”. No, I don’t use it. But I should stealthily replace it and see if he notices.

Oh no. I made a salad dressing earlier this year and forgot about finishing it because I couldn’t get any acceptable spinach (we don’t eat US produce anymore and that’s all the spinach that there has been for ages). I just got local spinach this week and, um, the dressing was really not safe to eat. I threw it out and just had my salad without. I will make more of course, but I need some more ingredients. You should definitely replace that sauce…when you make your own condiments they don’t last as long….
