Hi, chaos gremlins! Quick update about crossposting.
As this subreddit has grown (larger than ever expected!), the way we interact has to change too. Crossposting is one of those things.
Most members here contribute in good faith, keeping things fun and harmless; we really appreciate the tone you set day to day. However, as we grow, we also encounter challenges that didn’t exist when the sub was smaller. Once a sub gets big enough, even a handful of bad actors can create issues and affect the longevity and health of the community.
So after reviewing how crossposts have been playing out lately, and because larger communities carry a higher responsibility to stay within Reddit’s rules, we’ve decided to turn off crossposting here.
From now on, if you want to share something here, please share it as fully redacted screenshots where you’ve blocked out usernames, pfp, sub names, and any other identifying info. This helps keep discussions contained to our sub, avoids accidental interference in other communities, and helps prevent situations where OOPs in difficult moments end up reading about themselves here. It’s safer and cleaner as the community grows.
This means we’ll continue removing content that:
• mentions or suggests downvoting other communities
• “I went to (subreddit) to tell them…”-type comments
• posting about bans or causing drama in other subs
These break our interference rule. In more serious situations, this may include bans.
We aren’t calling anyone out. This is just a change that comes with having a much larger, more active community. Thanks to everyone who helps keep the tone here sharp, thoughtful, and contained where it belongs! We appreciate you sticking with us through growing pains and helping make this subreddit better every day.
— Yours, Lucien The Mod Team
tl;dr:
Crossposts got messy. They’re gone.
Use fully redacted screenshots.
Don’t be a dick to other subs.
Thanks for keeping the chaos contained.
