I don't think I understand the question. Why would they vanish? Should I just say "fuck it," remove the sub from /v/all and let it be what it is?

Not going to lie, seeing the endless "news" posts that just quote the same archived comment/post from reddit is partially hilarious, partially frightening in terms of the spin of it all, and partially annoying that it is just the same content, with a different logo in the corner. Or all the news reporting on B. Blount leaving, all putting their own opinion, re-editing the re/code article. Then again, when "new light is shed on Victoria Taylor's firing" was just the same u/yishan quotes being published on yet another click bait site, I sighed, i really wanted new light to be shed, if only to justify certain tinfoil with regards to what is going to happen with IAMA on reddit (and I considered IAMA a fucking joke, when Bad Luck Brian was not interesting enough to justify an IAMA, where it didn't jive with everything else they do, will admit to upvoting all the top comments to Snoop Dogg/Lion's AMA back in 2012, and thinks it sad that an author resorted to doing a "secret AMA")

You might want to consider a sticky/real time discussion for tomorrow for spez' talk with the community about which subs have no place on reddit. Because we all want to watch that ship set sail, sink, or just burn in place, providing a nice bonfire to pop the corn. And even if it is smooth sailing with cheering, and fanfair, it will be a story here, along the lines of when the music died / prepare to deal with these "toxic communities" to hit voat.

This subverse needs more active moderation. I am seeing A LOT of duplicate posts and it's really frustrating that people aren't taking two seconds to see if something's already been posted or not.

Yishan's "epic comment" from last night was posted three[1] different[2] times[3].

This needs to be a stick on the top of Voat. Just because people can't downvoat yet, doesn't mean it's carte blanche for shit posting.

I agree with everything you said except the image macro. I'd never have thought of them as substandard. Also would i be right in say that a lot of what you consider as substandard can be summed up as "no reposts"?

To be clear, 2 things:

  1. I wasn't trying to say the image macros themselves were substandard. My point was that posting image macros is a substandard way to express yourself.
  2. While you're technically correct about reposts, my point wasn't "don't make reposts," but rather, "please at least read the front page (of the sub) before posting non-OC."

If only there was a way to have those dumb shitposts just in v/new without getting upvoated like crazy just because of their brevity.

Kinda comes down to one of the main issues with the voting model in general. No idea how that kind of thing can be fixed except really dedicated community members to keeping shit off the front page. But at the same time, there just isnt enough not-shit to populate the front page of any subverse at any given time, so the shit fills the gaps.

I'll offer up /v/fort (Friends Of Reddit Transparency) for any and all reddit shitposting to deflect the low effort stuff, will you help promote it as a viable alternative in the sidebar?

This was IMO one of the biggest patterns missing on reddit, promoting a place to put the stuff you don't want in your sub.

If /r/worldnews promoted /r/worldpolitics for instance or /r/politics cooperated with /r/politic instead of fighting it.

That is a brilliant solution.

Thanks for offering this. I'm going to seriously consider it.

I've also created /v/shitredditspez for documenting Spez's glorious new vision for reddit.

It's a shame you can't have a way for mods of one subverse to move posts to another one. So you'd have a MeanwhileOnReddit.deleted as a default for mods move to. However they could also have /v/fort as an alternative if the mods of /v/fort allowed it.

So you wouldn't really have deletion, just moving.

I apologize for my video-linkage. Spur of the moment and won't happen again.

Ride on, /v/meanwhileonreddit! Spectator sport of the year.

Don't apologize. I didn't have any one user or any one post in mind when I wrote that.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any and all shitposts I have made in your subverse. Particularly this one, since Brony hate is an old meme
