    I mean, yeah? Otherwise we’d get rigid humorless mods like in reddit

      But we have rigid, humorless mods here, too? They aren’t exclusive to reddit lol

      Reddit was pretty good at keeping subs on theme. You could tell when a sub was going to shit when they started allowing “close enough” posts

        eh, I’ve never been harassed by a mod here or had to jump through weird hoops to get a post up. In terms of standards, I think mods need prioritize actually getting community engagement before they even need to think about enforcing rules. To do it the other way screams of mod insecurity

              I dunno man, browse All and this is one of the most prominent communities. I think it’s a good community and it doesn’t need the rules bent to make it work, it’s not like there’s a shortage of appropriate posts
