    Secret Santa was back when Reddit still had a semblance of community, which I realize now means trust. I’d never trust a Reddit secret Santa these days. Heck, I’ve done successful 4chan secret Santa’s and I’m still not brave enough to want a modern Reddit secret Santa.

      Least with a 4chan secret santa I’d know there’s an 80% chance of my gift being poop and cum instead of being surprised by it.

        I actually ended up getting a really nice and thoughtful gift. (And cookies which I absolutely did not eat.)

              Mate, why are you posting on random comments complaining about them being news? What are you on about?

                @bug well, it turns out lemmy and mastodon are not quite as compatible as hoped. I subscribed to a lemmy community from mastodon, and every comment to every news items shows in Mastodon as though the community owner boosted it. I mistakenly thought the comments were being boosted by moderators of the news community - totally my bad. I have unsubscribed now until some day when they fix that (for each news item I was getting that I wanted, I was also getting about ten comments - out of context in time order - with the rest of my feed; not a good user experience!)

                  So your main course of action was to reply to a comment and complain to them about it not being news?
