The r/writing subreddit Principle 

The r/writing subreddit Principle states that if your question starts with the words "Is it ok" or something similar to that then the answer is invariably yes.
"Hello, r/writing. Can I use a particular gimmick or a plot device that has been used before but because I don't actually read books or do any research I just assume it to be a highly original idea?"

"According to the r/writing subreddit Principle, the answer is always yes. You can write whatever you want."

"But is it ok if, like, my main character dies in the end? I'm afraid the average reader will be put off by my creative genius."

"Yes! Stop asking other people for validation! Grow a backbone and write what you want!"

Linking subreddits outside of Reddit 

Subreddits should only be linked in reddit. It's very cringy to do it outside of reddit. You'll see this very often on Youtube comment sections anyway due to the upsurge of dumbass YouTubers narrating various subreddits, with their main audience being kids who have never actually been on Reddit before.

When I see people act this way I reply with "r/thisisntreddit"

Youtube comments:

Person 1: Bro the 2013 Cat in the Hat is the best movie ever, it deserves to be the highest rated film

Person 2: Bruh that film sucks

Non Redditor: r/whoosh

Person 2: Don't link subreddits outside of reddit, you didn't even spell it right.
To subscribe to a topic, e.g. a thread in a forum. In internet language also often abbreviated by "sub'd" or "subb'd".

The act of being humiliated for an extremely long period of time, most of the time the subbing subject is about grades, how smart the aggressor is, or how much more intelligent he/she is, which can be quite “funny”. Usually done by an extremely smart individual that is also funny and humble. Being subbed can entail the victim being humiliated and “roasted” by the more intelligent aggressor.

Safe Space Subreddit 

A place where a group of people can gather if they have been subjected to ideas that differ from their ideologies. These safe spaces have circle jerks, pointless discussion and a delusional moderator team. Presumably, this allows them to recover from the trauma; free from any lasting damage resulting from exposure to ideas that conflict with their beliefs.
The subreddit /r/The_Donald is a safe space subreddit for Donald Trump supporters
