I guess Reddit has learned nothing. At least I have learned a lot in the last few days.

    And I have a question… in spez’s letter shown on macrumors, he references “snoos”. I assume the “snoo” in this sub is a reference to that, but I’m pretty sure spez is not talking about the acronym reference in the side bar. What does it mean?

      Snoo is the name of the little alien avatar that’s the… mascot? of reddit. I guess at corporate management encourage them to refer to each other as snoos. Sounds like typical corporate bs

      “Snoo” is the alien logo. I chose it for this community because “snoocalypse” sounded better than “redditcalypse”. That’s it.

      And also to poke fun at u/spez saying stuff like “we snoos”, even if nobody in that site calls oneself a “snoo”.

      The other choices in my mind were c/nukethesnoo, c/dieredditdie, c/makeredditdie. I’d rather avoid “die” in the name because people might take it too literally, and I wanted something that rolled easy on the tongue. I could use also c/watchredditdie but I didn’t want to associate this community with the r/watchredditdie community in Reddit itself.
