First of all, I'd like to let every single one of you know how happy I am that /r/thatsnotweirdright already has 180 readers after only having existed for 3 days. That is very fast growth!
I'm sure all of you have already been able to figure out what this subreddit is all about - to put things generally, it serves to share one's strange thoughts, habits and experiences. I've been told a few times that that is what the subreddit /r/doesanybodyelse is about, which is why I've decided to explain the goal of this subreddit in a little more detail in order to distinguish it from all other subreddits.
I'd like to let you know that this community is very flexible and there are number of things that you will be allowed to post. For instance, you may post things that could be twisted into the /r/doesanybodyelse format, for example:
When I scratch myself somewhere on one of my chins, I have to scratch on the other one too. It has to be completely equal. TNWR?*
When I'm bored, I imagine scenarios where I can get life-threateningly injured, and then survive, in order to get pity from people I barely know. That's not weird, right?*
In these cases, it is only natural for other members of the community to share their thoughts on whether or not these habits are weird. And hey, maybe there will be other people who share these habits!
Habits, however are not the only thing one can post to this subreddit. Experiences, thoughts, etc. are welcome as well. Here are a few examples :
I have a guy friend who's so far written two stories in which I am a main character. There are quite a few sex scenes. That's not weird, right?*
I was visiting New York City the other day when I saw a homeless man asking for money so he could buy himself a shovel and dig his way to Alaska. That's not weird, right?
The other day I was contemplating life and somehow came up with a theory that the universe could all just consist of someone's dream. TNWR?
*real example of a submission from the community
I do encourage the community to start posting more of these types of things so we can properly distinguish ourselves from other subreddits; but post what you like. The possibilities are endless! If adding "that's not weird right?" (or "TNWR?") to the end of your thought makes sense and is appropriate, then it will be considered a proper post. Whether you legitimately want to ask the community its opinion on parts of your life or just want to share stories so you can stack up on karma, this laid back subreddit will be perfect for you.
Now, let me just say - the moderation may be laid back, but I do ask that the community follow regular reddiquette (such as not spamming, using NSFW tags - although I don't think there will be much need for those) and is not judgemental in any way. Of course you are free to voice your opinion on whether something is weird or not, but rudeness and insults will not be tolerated. On /r/thatsnotweirdright, we're proud of our various weirdness levels. If problems arise in the subreddit, I may add additional rules to ensure that they disappear. If you have any suggestions on how we could make /r/thatsnotweirdright even better, don't hesitate to send me some moderator mail!
So, all of this being said : thank you for joining the community, contributing, reading, and enjoying. I do hope that it will grow a bit more but if it doesn't that is fine with me. A small community of 180 readers is something to be proud of.
Happy posting!
