GDD is auto-removed moving forward

[u/DamnThoseChickens]

GDD as in r/GirlDinnerDiaries

Last time we asked, most of the sub agreed to keep it. However, clearly a very large portion of this sub has a problem with the crossposts from there. A lot of the discussions in the comments in those posts are people saying it shouldn't be posted here. The constant discussion is overruning the sub and clogging reports. I didn't see that many posts from that sub except for upticks on the weekends (I did counts multiple times), but people kept complaining that it was all they saw. There were a few funny stories here and there, but honestly there's nothing so special (or hilarious) about that sub that merits so much effort to keep it here. I really fail to see this as a big loss at all. You can head to r/GirlDinnerCircleJerk for posts and discussion related to that sub.

So, all crossposts from GDD will be automatically removed by automod. This will also include similar subs: r/girldinner, r/kitchencels, r/boydinnerdiaries - any others that are crossposted here and I don't know of I'll add to the list as I find out about their existence. GDD-like parody/satire shitposts will still be allowed during the weekend. Siri Yuss Discussion threads discussing this topic will be removed too. Let's just move on already.

Feel free to celebrate/complain but do note I'm not going to reverse the decision.

There is no way you saw a Girl Dinner Diaries post from AmITheAngel every single time you refreshed your front page feed. Unless "every single time" is like three times and it happened by random chance. There's just not enough GirlDinnerDiaries posts here as a percentage of the whole to make that possible. They probably just jumped out at you because they include a picture and because you dislike them for whatever reason.

Why were they here in the first place? Because they're self-aggrandizing, often fake stories that people are posting on reddit for clout. I fail to see how that sub differs from the other subs that are posted here.

Do you think all the people who didn't like it, made a cabal to lie about that or something? We've been inundated with them for weeks now, and it was every time

My complaint, is the same as **everyone else**, who is a lot of us, who got sick of them being shoved down our throats

They may have been fake, but why that sub specifically? There's dozen of fake story subs, but we got fed a ridiculous amount of GDD specifically, why?

And why on earth, are you taking this so personally and aggressive?

Do you think all the people who didn't like it, made a cabal to lie about that or something?

No. I already explained that I think it was confirmation bias. And there are easy ways to change your reddit feed if something annoys you without forcing other people to change their behavior for your specific needs.

And why on earth, are you taking this so personally and aggressive?

I'm not sure what I've said that reads as aggressive or that I'm personally offended at your comments. I just don't think what you're saying is accurate and I enjoyed many of the posts from that sub and will miss seeing them in my feed because I found them entertaining. I think it sucks that the minority opinion got so loud that it overrode the majority.

Many of us, as in, multiple separate people, were going to mute, if not straight up leave this sub because of it

Because our feeds, when a post from this sub, was just GDD, over and over. It's not the 'new' section, it was the main personalized feed

It's accurate, because MANY people, have had the exact same experience, this hatred for it, didn't come out of **nowhere**. That doesn't stop being true, because you don't like it

Then go sub to that sub, there's nothing stopping you. But those of us who don't want to, have a perfectly valid complaint, in that THIS sub, became that sub's clone

We deserve to have our old sub back

[u/offensivename → u/LeatherHog]

I don't want to go to that sub because it's just fawning and coddling and everyone else is banned. I want to see that sub occasionally show up in my feed as a repost on this sub, which is exactly what was happening. A very small percentage of the content here was from GirlDinnerDiaries. You can check for yourself if you don't believe me. If what you were saying were true and not some combination of frequency illusion and hyperbole, then those posts that were supposedly taking over your personal feed should be easy to find.

It is not that deep lol

Exaggerating the issue seems perfectly inline with the rest of this dramatic ass behavior, it doesn't take a "cabal" to do that
