    and then cancel it after this year because if you don't it will become an institution and people will divide over it within a few years' time

      the best way to do it isn't to reward power posters and creating competition/just giving the awards to the same people every time but instead take a totally arbitrary condition like "Most uses of the letter z relative to other letters" or "Funniest name" or "Person who created the best tagline in 2023" or "Most entertaining/insightful/interesting single comment of the year" or "Best freakout from a lemmitor to their comment"

      such that it's not the same thing every year and that power posters and relative newcomers or people who like to create new accounts regularly are on the most level playing field reasonably possible

        I mean this was just a bit that everyone is taking seriously and it's turning into some really wholesome shit so...yeah maybe I'll post it again next year with new categories that encourage extra wholesomeness

        “Most uses of the letter z relative to other letters”

        Oh boy! I wonder what are some of the most common letters in the Polish language!
