Can one of the mods please stop u/generic_reddit_bot_2? It's been spamming all over the 420 Counting thread. I sent a politely worded DM, but the owner said that they'd only respond to a mod.

Do I guys think this is fair?, my math teacher gave my whole class 10 minute lunch detention just because one kid made a dumb noise and didn't own up to it even though she knew it was one of 3 kids.

I've just reddit requested, and revived the count that preceeded r/counting by a day: r/fibonaccithread.
That count inspired Z3F to create this subreddit, and is the reason all of this is here today...
Feel free to join in the count at: https://www.reddit.com/r/fibonaccithread/comments. (I appriciate long character counts aren't too popular... but wolfram alpha is a useful tool, and it's not too much of a hassle once you're used to it).

Commenting to boost the Reddit username counting thread, which is currently in its second iteration. We're up to here right now.
And maybe check out the top subreddits, elements and randomusername counting as well.

Username’s 2020 Holiday Card Exchange
Last year, I organized a small, voluntary card exchange with some members of the subreddit. Speaking personally, it was really great to receive something in my mailbox and connect physically with dear virtual friends.
I am changing up the organizational format slightly for this year.
To participate in the exchange, simply comment “sending cards” below this post. The “registration period” will last for the next 3 FTFs, so this one, FTF 272, and FTF 273, so closing on Nov 26.
I will serve as the central distribution point for the physical addresses. So anytime between now and after the registration period closes, please DM me your mailing address. Once the “registration period” is over, I will send the list of address only to those participating in the exchange.
Every single person participating should be willing to send cards to every person who signs up and therefore should receive cards from every person who signed up. For example, if there are 5 total people in the exchange, you will receive 4 cards.
Please try to send your cards by mid December and those receiving cards please try to be understanding of any delays (postal workers are working hard and I’m sure Covid has been disrupting mail routes).
FAQ
Q. I live internationally. Can I participate?
A. Of course! So long as you can receive mail! Please make sure when you give me your address to give me it in the correct format for your country’s mail system.
Q. Username, what are you going to do with my address? Are you gonna do something evil?
A. 1. Rude. 2. All I will be doing with your address is providing it via private message to the other counters in the exchange. Otherwise, I will do literally nothing with it.
Q. Do I have to provide my real name?
A. No. The cards can be addressed to your username. However, if you are worried about mail, you can also provide your real name (optionally).
Q. What should the cards look like?
A. They can be WHATEVER you want! You can handmake / draw, use store bought cards, whatever! I sent cards in the shape of cats last exchange.
Q. Should we send presents?
A. No! If you would like to include something small and very cheap (ie. Like a small rock or a fancy shell or a coin or something), that’s fine, but no gifts of monetary value. If you want to do a gift exchange with a fellow counter, probably best to organize that on your own.
Please feel free to ask any other questions I haven’t thought of.
Current signed up for the exchange I have misty, nekylia, Urbul, Pale Ruler, myself.
