The mod team has been working diligently behind the scenes to provide the community experience that many of you have asked for. We've heard your criticisms and your encouragement for what you'd like this community to be.
Many of you have complained about the low effort shitposts, the off-topic content that has absolutely nothing to do with our mission statement, and the spam from particular users and subreddits. Many of you have encouraged us to get back to our roots of celebrating the accomplishments of the Trump administration. We've heard you all and decided that it's time for some changes.
First off, we've created a new news account called u/TDT2024NEWS that follows and posts news from the official white house news site. Since it's just getting started, it will be tracking executive orders as they come out, and then post here for your consumption. Other white house news will soon follow. Things like announcements, rebuttals to fake news, appointments for cabinet positions, and explanations of the DJT mission will be available. We're hoping this will generate more meaningful engagement with the community.
Second, we're limiting, not outright banning, submitted content that doesn't apply to the trump administration. Our mods will use discretion to decide whether or not to pull someone's post based on the community's interest. If your post gets pulled, handle it like an adult. We're tired of dealing with tantrums from people who didn't bother reading the removal message that explains why the post was removed, and which of our other subs the content would be better suited for.
We will still allow some content that doesn't apply directly to the trump admin. We're just trying to filter out the useless nonsense that fills the majority of everyone's feed (you know the type). We're a pro-trump sub first and foremost. If you don't know whether or not your content will be accepted and approved, you can always message the mods to find out.
Third, we've had some issues with other communities that are seemingly run by children. Grow the hell up. You don't have a right to spam our sub with your low effort shitposts that you spammed to three dozen other subs. We've blocked crossposts from some of these communities in response to the meltdowns over having a post taken down. Grow up. Seriously.
Fourth and finally, the reactionary content. All of conservative reddit (the whole 5% of the website where we exist) is filled with "look at this libtard" posts. This sub isn't the proper home for that, but we've got plenty of others that apply. If there's something explicitly political about the content - like a moron destroying trump gear and whatnot, then it will be approved here. Again, if there's a question on whether or not it will be approved, message the mods to ask. We'll be happy to help.
Our sidebar and automod messages are filled with the subs we run, as well as other communities we support. We're looking to make these changes so that each community stays true to its own mission rather than being indistinguishable from one another. It gets old seeing the same posts across every sub you visit. Being an amorphous blob of identical communities and content discourages user engagement and growth. Hopefully these changes will encourage other communities to be more than just a repository for meaningless clickbait.
Feel free to ask any questions you have or throw tomatoes and cabbage. The floor is yours.
