Hey everyone!
I'm so excited to be the new top mod of this community. I've been a part of this community since the beginning, and I've seen how much it's grown and evolved. I'm grateful to the previous top mod for creating this space, and I'm honored to be taking over.
On Twitter, I'm @CantStopPoppin, and on Reddit, I'm u/CantStopPoppin. I've been active on both platforms for over 5 years, and I've always been a strong advocate for diversity, inclusion, and quality content.
I'm planning to make a few slight changes to the community, but I want to get your input first. I want this to be a place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or beliefs. That means that hate speech, racism, anti-LGBTQ+, and trolling will not be tolerated.
I believe that our differences make us stronger together. We can learn from each other and create something truly special. I'm committed to listening to the community and working together to make this happen.
I'll be leaving this post unlocked for 72 hours so that you can share your thoughts and suggestions. I'll also be going through the comments to answer any questions you may have.
Here are a few specific things I'm thinking about changing:
- I'd like to make the community more welcoming to people from all walks of life. This means being more inclusive of people from different cultures, religions, and LGBTQ communities.
- I'd like to make the community more focused on quality content. This means promoting posts that are well-written, informative, and thought-provoking.
- I'd like to make the community more active. This means encouraging people to participate in discussions and share their thoughts and ideas.
I'm open to other suggestions, so please let me know what you think. I'm excited to work with you to make this community even better!
A few things to note:
- YouTube and Twitter will not be allowed in the community. Only legitimate news sources will be accepted.
- There may be a "Pundit Tuesday" in the future, but not at this time.
- Fox News local stations will be allowed, but their syndicated stations and talking heads will not be accepted due to their many dishonest reports and lawsuits.
I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
Thank you again for helping to create, nurture, and seed this community. I'm looking forward to working with you to make it even better!
This post will stay unlocked for 72 hours for an AMA. I will try to answer as many questions as I can, but it may take some time.
I hope to see you all in the comments!
This one
Ah okay so it's like this. The CCP does not equal the entire population of China. It is a governing body that dictates how the Chinese people live. Generalization of people is a racist trope. Holding fascist authoritarian governments accountable for atrocities is not. The comment was intended to help people think about the individuals within a country when thinking about the actions of the government. I know this is not the answer you may have wanted but it does give you some things to think about. Racial slurs dehumanization clearly not allowed. Criticizing the CCP for having a hand in a modern-day genocide against the Uyghurs Muslims is both welcomed and encouraged. This does not just apply To the CCP but all world governments.
Ok, then I'll fell strongly encouraged to bring up the genocide of indians and indigenous populations committed by the Americans at every chance I see.
The United States has a long and bloody history of atrocities against indigenous peoples and Black people. These atrocities are some of the worst in human history, and they dwarf some of history's other atrocities. This is not to say that one atrocity is worse than another, but it is important to remember that the United States has a dark past that we must not forget.
