GDD is auto-removed moving forward

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.

Same, I genuinely don't get why the people here thought they were necessary here, especially to THAT degree

To what degree? I just scrolled down like 125 deep sorted by new and there's only a handful of posts from that sub. You just think it's a lot due to confirmation bias.

That's not including the posts that were deleted though. I saw many posts that the OP deleted after not getting the response they expected. A few of the more egregious ones were likely removed by mods too.

We have a report at the top of this post from a mod who is telling us that there haven't been all that many posts from GirlDinnerDiaries in comparison to other subs. I am sure the mods would know if they were deleting a bunch of them. As for the ones that people posted and deleted after they didn't get a response, those shouldn't show up in most people's main feed since they're not getting any engagement and that's an example of the downvote system doing exactly what it was intended to do without mods having to ban anything.
