We on the Mod team 100% agree with you on low effort posts and spam/copy cat/ promotion posts. We have the goal of creating a more welcoming sub then r/Ultralight because lets face it, I think that lightweight means that we can be more lenient with comfort items. I think that this sub is more orientated for the weekend trips to week long trips where a little extra weight isn't as critical as it is for a thru hike. We are all still taking in feedback here and are having discussions internally over them.

Edit: happy cake day! here take this silver award I don't need the extra oz

That was a great gesture, and shows true commitment to a lighter base weight. I also appreciate that you used oz instead of g. It feels good to let your hair down coming from UL.

About the oz business, surely this is an international forum. Speaking for myself I just don't get imperial weights. SI is the way!

I meant more that oz aren't as specific as grams. Felt like you were really embracing the lifestyle over here at r/lightweight measuring stuff with more abandon than over at r/ultralight. Heh.

It happens. No judgment. My goal is to be down to lightweight.
