View submission: Moderation Update: New Cross-Posting Rule
Agreed. And context must be also taken into consideration. There is a huge difference between a screenshot of a batshit insane take out in the open (with attribution removed) vs. someone's pain being used for book club fodder by faux therapists and OP being blocked from interacting.
Of course, the silly elephant in the room is about Banned. IMHO there is no comparison. Banned followed all of the established conventions of the DBEU. We remove posts which violated that understanding. And the memes? If you recognize your "harsh truths" being made fun of, maybe you reconsider how truthy they are.
The previous regime here (which appears to run the new wacky DBEU sub) made all sorts of lies and calumny against us. Being told that we were all "rape apologists" (the former mod's actual words) is more offensive than a stupid meme about Diet Coke or 1980s My Little Ponies. Being told that we were aiding and abetting Reddit rule violative behaviour is an outright lie. And again, being told "Your so-called advice is insane and it helps nothing but your own ego" isn't harassment or brigading. Sorry.
All that said, I think this is a good move and glad to see the mod team is moving in this direction. If you told me that I'd write that a little over a month ago, I'd tell you to stop smoking drugs. Well, fire up a bowl because here I am.
There's nothing here!
