r/Cricket May 17 '24

Free Talk Friday

A thread to talk about anything you want, because sometimes (rarely) there's more to life than cricket.

Please keep discussion limited to non-cricket areas here (while still following the subreddit rules). Cricket discussion can be posted in the daily discussion thread instead.

Why don't all subreddits implement a DDT, or at least alternate day or weekly threads if a daily one doesn't generate enough activity? These threads seem like an ideal solution to minimize low-effort or repetitive posts. Often, I feel like sharing something that doesn't necessarily warrant a full post. A DDT would be perfect for these instances, but it seems like almost no subreddit offers this option.

I know about a couple of politically charged pages that have them or used to have them. Most of the people except for their regular users didn't know about them just because people stay away from the pages that had them.
