We did it Lemmy! (self.showerthoughts)

Perhaps this is a dark thought... but I'm wondering what the future Lemmy equivalents to "We did it Reddit!" or "Thanks for the gold kind stranger!" will be.

It seems like something cliche or corny always springs up, like it's unavoidable.

I had over 15000 Reddit coins when I cancelled my premium subscription last month. I’ve had it since they handed out years of premium when they killed Alien Blue. When it ran out I decided I enjoyed paying for no ads and still remembered when they’d tell you how much server time you paid for and would announce all the new servers coming online that came from gold users.

Anyway I used to get a kick out of spending my coins on people who hated it. I handed out more than a few in June, but it was money already spent.

Fair. I have a ton of coins from the alien blue era too. Never cost me anything. Good point.
