There's a "shadow sub" for pens. LOL

Every once in a while I go visit r/pens just to see what’s being talked about. And then… today, I mistakenly typed r/pen. And it’s “somewhat” active, relatively speaking. “r/pens” is in the top 5% of ranked communities (surprisingly!). “r/pen” is in the top 20%.

But looking at “r/pen” is like a walk in the bizarro world. What mundane topics all over the place. Just a quick sample I glimpsed:

My phone once autocorrected r/pens to another word. That was something I tell ya.

I think r/pen happened after some r/pens regulars couldn’t take the crap reasons from the moderators for holding out on the lockdown protest. I’m staying out.
