Any critiques, desire for clarity, outright hatred, whatever have you. I will respond the best I can.
I know there’s been some blowback on some of the policy updates but it’s been difficult to really explain fully that the restrictive content policy is temporary, this community was very unmanaged for a time and it had to be reigned in somehow and with the limited tools at disposal the temporary policy changes were made.
Here’s a comment that also explains a little bit behind the decisions made recently as well.
For community mods, we have a community mod coord matrix group chat now. Feel free to DM about it.
Also, there’s another ongoing discussion regarding SFW communities on lemmyNSFW here.
The point is, they can go wherever people want them to go that make a certain community. That’s the wole point. If Reddit had been this hardass about creating certain communities or not, it would’ve never grown as much as it did.
It just sets a really bad precedent. So celeb communities are first, ok. But next we’re debating if exhibitionism and holdthemoan should better be just one sub, and then if gonewild and gonewildeurope should just be one, and why do there have to be more than ONE subs for JAV, or hentai, or… the list is endless. Don’t start policing the instance like it was a subreddit.
Instead, just switch to “Subscribed”, like we all did as the most normal thing in the world a few days ago.
Part of the challenge is the discoverability. I like to view the community list or all to find new communities to subscribe to. With the huge number of celeb communities it becomes hard to find content I’m interested in.
