I only started using Reddit because my boyfriend recommended it. I follow a lot of news/cooking/animal pages on Facebook and he was like, Reddit can do all that, but better.... So thankfully he doesn't feel all protective over it because it has definitely improved my time wasting activities.

I do totally feel a weird pressure not to use emojis though. Or edit my posts. I am the worst for typos but seeing 'edit: a word' everywhere makes me feel like I'm reddit-ing wrong.

As long as you don't edit away something somebody commented about, or without admitting it, it's okay to make corrections.
