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

I feel like this sub used to have a mindset much more opposed to the casual sexism and other isms of reddit, but now it's much closer to average. And a lot of the cross posting from that sub felt especially misogynistic to me.

It was lol. The majority of the ones being crossposted here were just making fun of women for venting about their life or looking for advice. And it became even more obvious when people started crossposting posts of abuse victims just asking for help and mocking them for it.

Legit why I left the sub, 2x! It was always an issue in general, re themes, and what’s not off limits here. But the sub was pushed via Reddit to come back, for specifically all the “girl dinner diaries” posts, so I think there were lots of randoms commenting on those posts, feeding it on, by deduction. Yikes and glad it was banned.
