Quality Contributions Report for December 2023

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful.

Thank you for the nomination, and congratulations to all of our quality contributors!

If you will forgive a bit of self-advertising, a couple of months ago I wrote another comment about the Declaration of Independence in the context of justifying secession. I'd hoped that people might find it interesting, but then I managed to post it in the old CW thread after the new one had just gone up.

Edit to add: I have reposted the comment here.

Looks like a good post that would lead to interesting discussion to me. I'd welcome it being reposted as a top-level in a current main thread.

I'm inclined to be reluctant to self-promote as well. But it's usually really obvious when the situation is somebody writes low-quality posts that were properly exposed and got low engagement because they were low quality, then aggressively self-promotes them to try and compensate, versus a high-quality post that just went up at the wrong time.

Two quality contributions, from me? I'm quite — pleasantly — surprised. Thank you to whoever all nominated those comments.

Happy New Year to one and all, and I am flabbergasted to get so many nominations for quality contributions, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Now I just have to try not to immediately spoil this good record by losing my temper and picking up another ban 😁

Nice job everyone
