And I have a question... in spez's letter shown on macrumors, he references "snoos". I assume the "snoo" in this sub is a reference to that, but I'm pretty sure spez is not talking about the acronym reference in the side bar. What does it mean?
"Snoo" is the alien logo. I chose it for this community because "snoocalypse" sounded better than "redditcalypse". That's it.
And also to poke fun at u/spez saying stuff like "we snoos", even if nobody in that site calls oneself a "snoo".
The other choices in my mind were c/nukethesnoo, c/dieredditdie, c/makeredditdie. I'd rather avoid "die" in the name because people might take it too literally, and I wanted something that rolled easy on the tongue. I could use also c/watchredditdie but I didn't want to associate this community with the r/watchredditdie community in Reddit itself.
Snoo is the name of the little alien avatar that's the... mascot? of reddit. I guess at corporate management encourage them to refer to each other as snoos. Sounds like typical corporate bs
Snoo is the name of the Reddit Alien.
