Seems to me the fear of overloading one instance over another will not happen after all.

But I do hope the Threadiverse can hit 500,000 consistent active users by the end of summer.

Give me that hopium guys! 💉

I agree, I actually ended up gaining the weight back, but when I was working on losing it- I loved that sub for its motivation. I'm actually about to re-embark on that very same goal again now.

/r/fatpeoplehate- to reiterate, did help me. It didn't make me hate myself, it didn't inspire the eating disorder I came to be under, or are under now- it made clear to me that I had things to deal with. A healthy person does not lose over a hundred pounds of weight, and then gain it back in a fairly short period of time. For all of it's failures, flaws, and imperfections- that sub may have very well saved my life by bringing to my attention; I have an eating disorder.
