Welcome hombres. This week Reddit is in blackout and I’m not going to crosspost my work to r/Coffee.

Truthfully, this has been a long time coming. While I love the r/coffee subreddit and sympathise with the admins, their rules are extremely restrictive and I’ve been getting decreasing levels of engagement each week. I still love the subreddit and will use it for news - but I’m going to switch over to twitter as my main platform for the time being.

You can follow me @MoonHeadCoffee on Twitter for the moment. Long-term, I think Instagram will be the best platform (or tiktok).

And now, the news
