The cool people now leaving were happy in the old sub but not here. Why?

Btw "meta" posts should go here or in userunion?

    Different mod team, but it was also on reddit which means it was impossible to insulate it from bigotry. Here, people think that’s possible and are currently going to great lengths to do so. One way or another the guiding philosophy is clearly different, for better or worse.

      It's entirely down to the mod team. The mod team here was first filtered through whoever was online enough to get to the Discord in the day that we knew the sub would be banned, then stayed in the Discord for a month and became a mod there, then who managed to stay through the extreme immaturity and pettishness of Discord drama, then became mods here, wanting to police this community of like 200 posters.

      Bad decision making led to a toxic moderation team from the core-out, and with every one who leaves it continues to filter for the purely worst options. Then that trickles down to how the site behaves and is shaped.
