I took a look at the “top” threads for 2022, and pulled out a few. I was inspired by the “most active thread over different periods of time” thread. What were some of your favorites this year?
Some 2022 Classics (my personal selection with no empirical basis). If it’s one of my threads, I only posted it because I loved the responses.
I can’t believe that the “Interactive Literature” thread was this year. Seems like ages ago.
