That community hits “front page” quite often. It’s easy to miss the community name (and rules) unless you pay attention.
It would be nice if there was a brother community that had the same topic, and a default text in all posts explaining this and redirecting the men to that.
I don’t hate the idea in principle. Actually on principle I think it would be really cool. But, MAN do I think that will not go the way I think we’d all like it to.
You’d have to really police the place for shithead incels. And soft core porn.
Yes sure. I am speaking in general. Half the time I read that community, I only realize where I am when I see the mods calling other people out in the comments. It happens in every single thread, which is why I think they ought to make it more visible in every single post.
It’s a great community and I do read it occasionally, so I don’t want to block it, just because I’m not allowed to comment myself.
not any different than any community that random gets frontpaged and gets flooded by randos.
on reddit i was a part of several smaller subs that would get front paged a couple times a year and things got nutty for a few days. usually a flood of users who just came in harassed everyone and made lots of posts about what losers we were, or posted self-help ‘guides’.
the assumption that people are going to read your sidebar rules and self regulate is just… dumb. that isn’t what people do. provocative posts are going to be a beacon for provocative people who have to ‘educate’ the rest of the community.

On Reddit I’d agree, but I’m slightly more optimistic about how it would play out here
That would be an understandable mistake if the poster hadnt literally quoted the rule they were breaking.

I read through that thread, the mods were very patient.
And individual community members of course had their own individual reactions, depending on the content of the post.
