Snapshot gauging. How do you feel about the Shit Reactionaries Say community at this moment?
We ask because almost 2 years ago, we merged all “Shit X Say” communities into two: Reactionaries and Ultras.
We also, by popular demand back then, made the communities NSFW so that they would be easy to avoid for people who didn’t want to see this type of content.
Today, we are asking how you feel about this community (And SUS as well, though it’s much less popular than SRS). This will potentially shape further policy related to these two communities.
It’s a pretty open-ended question so don’t hesitate to be thorough.
I don’t think its great for anyone’s mental health to have rage-bait and cringe communities, but its unavoidable: we all see reactionary things and need a space to either point and laugh at it, or critique it.
Our options are either to not have one at all, or confine the cringe posting to a single community that people can and should probably block, as we’ve already done.
It’s a continuous process to figure out what kind of limits we should put on that community tho, and I realize that’s the thrust of this post. Like we obviously aren’t going to let ppl post racist characatures there, but low-hanging reactionary youtubers? If ppl want to point and laugh at them, that’s fine I spose.
So I think things are probably fine as is, and advise everyone who cares about their mental health to block that community.
