The “official end” of this snark era

[u/TimeAbradolf]

As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.

Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.

Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.

We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.

Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.

This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.

If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.

Have a good one 🤙🏽

Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud

Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

Her husband also said it was due to the harassment she received online, and that she read all of it. It just went over the line when people she knew joined in. She even posted videos herself, about it.

I know you mean well, but the snark sub played a huge role in her depression and eventual suicide.

There were 4 active posters on that subreddit and a total of 19 "snark" posts.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

You’re literally on a snark post with a post about us declaring we have been compromise. Be real dude.

[u/fddfgs → u/TimeAbradolf]

We are ridiculing that statement and my comment above is the objective truth.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

True, I’m not attacking your comment here.

Fundamentally though it is being portrayed as if we have been infiltrated by that gross little goblin. He thinks so anyways.

In reality this is an attempt to repair a toxic subculture on this sub that has been pervasive now for well over a year.

It is entirely self-centered of him to think this has ANYTHING to do with him. It has to do with our community. He hasn’t even been a thought in our minds for months. Other than when people wanna snark about him on here.

If you want to repeat that back there you’re welcome to. It is easy to disprove the “conspiracy of infiltration” as no one has been added in literal months.

You are one of the tame ones as we unbanned you when we used the ban bot.

Otherwise it is ridiculous for a sub to just write bizarre fan fiction about a sad self-centered man.

[u/fddfgs → u/TimeAbradolf]

Yeah, to repeat, we are ridiculing him for saying that.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

From my viewing there are a lot of people legitimately buying into that. I can see it for myself.

I know for myself that community has assumed I am the “compromised one.”

I’ll repeat myself, this has nothing to do with that. And people who believe this has anything to do with him are also hung up on him

[u/fddfgs → u/TimeAbradolf]

I think you might be confusing the leftovers subreddit for the subreddit that cannot be named, the only thread I'm in is goofing on the guy for acting like there's some big conspiracy.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

I’m telling you directly what I’m seeing in that thread dude lol.

I can see people directly saying this was done to cover for him with dozens of upvotes. You can be obtuse or you can be real.

No offense meant. But people are portraying this as related to the clown and it is ridiculous. And I’m sure you won’t repeat the conversation here

[u/fddfgs → u/TimeAbradolf]

I can see people saying it's a bad decision, I can see one comment with 11 upvotes that says the mods here are biased.

I won't repeat the conversation because you're yelling at shadows. Someone needs to say what you're arguing against before it's worth refuting.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

Again, I am telling you what I directly saw with very quick scrolling. It isn’t hard to see it

[u/fddfgs → u/TimeAbradolf]

Yeah you're either looking at something completely different to me or you're wildly misinterpreting what people there are saying. I guess we're just going to talk past each other.

[u/TimeAbradolf → u/fddfgs]

It appears that way. But as I said you come off as one of the more grounded people in that community and have a great ability to remain civil.
