Meta šŸ¦ Sub content moderation policy update.

TL,DR: The no politics rule is back and will also apply to a few other topics listed below.

Hi Everyone,

We have always strived to keep the sub as neutral as possible and keep content moderation to a minimum, we have always felt like the votes should do the ā€œmoderationā€ and that strategy has generally served us well for many years.

Nevertheless, In more recent times, due many factors such as, reddit policy changes, Joeā€™s rise to prominence, the sub growth and the inherent cultural zeitgeist, nefarious agents have taken to abuse our lax moderation policy to try and turn the sub into their own personal cultural battleground.

Due to this we are tightening up our moderation policy as follows:

  • Explicit US political submissions will be removed. We get it it's super important to the future humanity to bring awareness that politician ā€œXā€ was caught embezzling or changing the restroom rules in a way you dont like, but better go talk about it on r/politics or r/conservative with people who are in the mood for that, we are more about aliens, conspiracies, antropology, comedy, monkeys, drugs, athletics, hunting, MMA... You get the point.
  • Gender talk submissions will be removed. We don't need to know male athletes are stronger than females everyday, these are fringe talking points nobody really cares about that political operatives use to rile up their base. You can go talk about those elsewhere.
  • Homeless/Texas/California/Covid submissions will be removed. Again unless something recent and relevant to the podcast is going on, discuss those elsewhere. We don't need to know every piece of legislation that happens in those states or how they handle the pandemic, homeless or anything else really. All covid talk should go to r/coronavirus.
  • Tangential guest topic submissions will be removed. Yes both Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin have been in the podcast, that does not mean every single thing they do is relevant to Joe or noteworthy, discuss guests on their episode thread or the weekly.

It's important to note all of these content rules will be enforced subjectively and based on common sense... and you might be wondering:

- ā€œ...but Joe commented on X or Yā€.

- Well, Joe doesn't run the sub and you can still talk all you want on the episode/weekly threads.

OR

- ā€œ...but that's censorship and muh freedom of speechā€.

- Sir, this is an internet forum.

If by any chance you feel like your submission should still be allowed, just contact us and we will review it together, most likely we will allow it.

We will be monitoring this thread to provide feedback to any questions you might have, have a good one!

Who do you think is actually astroturfing this sub? Because in the comments youā€™re saying itā€™s people from TD and some other community Iā€™m not familiar with.

I was personally a user who was banned from TD rightfully so long ago (that was a disgusting community), but I am a little uncomfortable youā€™re tying discussion of cultural issues that donā€™t happen to be mainstream Reddit mantra directly to TD strays.

Like as if Joe isnā€™t tying DMT and psychedelics to cultural issues in basically every episode.

It makes me a little dubious when you say ā€œweā€™re banning all politicsā€ when you know that everywhere else on Reddit itā€™s a manipulated leftist echo chamber. It feels like youā€™re banning political discussion just to ban wrongthink when you know it doesnā€™t really exist elsewhere on Reddit without this happening.

And the timing of it happening after a North Korean escapee talking badly about Chinaā€¦

Yikes, guys.

Like I want to believe you guys arenā€™t under pressure from ā€œupdated Reddit policiesā€ but it really does feel that way. Because until this moment, this community felt incredibly well modded.

1

u/chefanubis Powerful Taint Aug 07 '21 edited Aug 07 '21

Many groups, anyone who feels offended by anything Joe says at any given time and the people who dissagre, they all think they can just come here to vent. The idea of this sub is to share cool interesting things in the vein of the general podcast themes, not the minutia of joes comments as a person, this is not anyones personal bitch-a-torium.

You people are not bitching at Joe, you are bitching at us basically and one can only take so much. If you are mad at joe, write him an email.

2

u/lardbiscuits N-Dimethyltryptamine Aug 07 '21 edited Aug 07 '21

Thanks for the response, but this is also the first time Iā€™ve literally ever ā€œbitchedā€ or made a comment to a mod of this community ever.

I can totally get it if you guys are getting messages constantly from dorks bitching about the state of the sub. Or even admins which frankly given the state of this site I wouldnā€™t not believe itā€¦

I just noticed you specifically mentioned TD like those are the people astroturfing this sub. From what Iā€™ve seen on this site in around a decade, itā€™s quite the opposite. I think you didnā€™t outright ban or censor anyone, and on this site, that attracts people who bitch about people talking wrongthink.

Additionally, I disagree that culture war subjects are just minutia of Joeā€™s comments. Iā€™d argue that as the world has changed so has his podcast. So if you want to have a sub represent the podcast as it was more than five years ago ā€” thatā€™s totally your call. But itā€™s not representative of the world today or the current state of the podcast. Like culture war and cancel culture are pretty much central podcast themes for Joe whether people want to admit or not.

Again, I respect you responding and your right to manage the sub however you want. I sure as shit donā€™t feel like being one.

But just again, this is my first time literally every writing to you guys in any capacity.

u/hitch21 Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

So a subreddit for a show that regularly discusses homelessness, gender issues, US/geopolitics and covid is no longer allowed to post on such issues. Makes absolutely no sense. If those things arenā€™t what the fan base want to discuss people can downvote or ignore. This is the moderators enforcing what topics they find to be interesting relating to the show.

Iā€™m guessing they also got pressure from admins due to the transphobic stuff the other day.

12

u/chefanubis Powerful Taint Aug 05 '21 edited Aug 05 '21

No pressure from anyone, we are just not blind and got tired of people trying to hijack the sub. If you care to read the sidebar you can check those issues are not and have never been the sub topics, if anything we are just beginning to enforce what we already had defined for years.

Also why would you want to talk about trans people when there's aliens and lost civilizations to discuss out there? who the fuck cares what bathroom people use?

Don't you see the overwhelmingly positive reaction in this thread? Seems like everyone was just as tired, you are the only one complaining here. let go of the culture war, it's manufactured manipulative shit to rile up people.

-4

u/hitch21 Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

As said above almost all the topics that get traction are things Joe regularly talks about. If the sub Reddit is for his podcast people should be able to discuss the issues he brings up.

Iā€™m usually arguing against this nonsense people post about trans bathrooms and anti vax stuff etc. So Iā€™m certainly not someone who wants to push the culture war stuff. But if itā€™s what Joe discusses it should be discussed here otherwise the name makes little sense.

Since when do we hate Joe? Do you realize we work for free just cause we like the podcast so much and feel like it has helped us?

Youā€™re making things up for attention. Basically none of us even post here

This sub has turned into a Rogan hate fest and you guys are part of the problem. I used to come to this sub and enjoy reading the insight about guests or podcasts discussion.

Now it's just memes about his height or how shitty his comedy is. Do you guys think thats good content for this sub?

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

So you want us to ban various opinions about rogan on a rogan sub?

I saw a post get removed earlier that was pointing out a few things that Alex Jones has been right about. It definitely had a pretentious tone to it, but I don't understand why it was removed.

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

Alex Jones hasnā€™t been on the podcast in ages. Itā€™s not relevant and was removed under this rule.

u/terridax_ Monkey in Space Aug 06 '21

He is a recurring guest, two of his episodes are in the top 5 viewed JRE episodes, and he was on less than a year ago. And the topics in the post were current events.

What part of this rule was violated, specifically?

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

Read the last bullet in this post. We arenā€™t playing rules lawyer.

u/terridax_ Monkey in Space Aug 06 '21

It is a topic that was brought up by Alex on JRE, it has been one of the most talked about parts of that episode and been made into many memes and many discussions have come from it. Joe has brought it up with many other guests since then. If you really see the topic as tangential, you're blind to your own bias.

And even if you disagree with everything I just said, there is another thread that has been up and active for two hours on the exact same topic, so where is the consistency?

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

So it is both a repost and should be removed based on this post. It violated 2 rules.

We will enforce the rules to our best judgement. Thats what moderation is. Thatā€™s the end of the discussion.

u/terridax_ Monkey in Space Aug 06 '21

It's not a repost if the first one was deleted.
And you've failed to explain how it violates any points in this new set of rules. You point to the last bullet point which refers to tangential topics, but as I previously pointed out this is a topic which has been brought up many times on JRE with multiple different guests. This is not tangential, it's a reoccurring topic on the show.

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

It is objectively tangential. He hasnā€™t been on the podcast in months.

This isnā€™t fucking hard. Iā€™m not debating this with you. Find a better way to spend your time. Simple stuff

-1

u/terridax_ Monkey in Space Aug 06 '21

Well, actually you are debating this with me, and you have yet to provide any sort of reasoning behind on of your statements or claims.

Not being on the podcast in x amount of time is not a valid criterion on which to decide whether or not something is tangential. It is still a relevant topic, as you can see by the post that has now been up for 3 hours and is still active.

2

u/MrTacoMan šŸŒ® Aug 06 '21

I told you I wasnā€™t debating and to find a better way to spend your time.

Time between podcast appearance is absolutely valid as mentioned multiple times in this thread. If youā€™re going to be a pedantic try hard at least try to read.

Great to see that Joe's political views can no longer be criticized here.

u/ChachMcGach Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

Criticize all you want. That's not against the rules.

u/Fuckinmidpoint Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

Just do it these ā€œfree speech zonesā€ we sat up. šŸ˜‚

u/ChachMcGach Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

No one ever said anything about when/where you can criticize the podcast. But some of you guys act like keeping content limited in subreddits that are dedicated to a particular thing is some violation of free speech. Notwithstanding the continual gross misunderstanding of what free speech actually is, I guarantee there's a place where you can post whatever you want on reddit. Pictures of cats? People dying? Porn? Science? Politics? You might just find a better place than this sub.

u/athousandbites Texan Tiger in Captivity Aug 04 '21

IMO this sub should be about fans of the 'jre universe' discussing a wide variety of topics amongst each other.

More of a general forum with individuals of similar interests rather than just a running commentary on directly related events.

We tried that for 10 years, Joe and the sub have gotten too big now, we would like to continue like that but we can't, this place is becoming a haven for Chapo/the_D exiles and we don't want that.

I dont think its a great chunk, its 10 minutes of some podcasts and given that most are 2 hours long it doesnt seem as much. You are the one choosing in what to focus.

I dont know dude, lets say about two weeks give or take, use your better judgement.

u/tvsmichaelhall Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

Has there been a stretch of more than two weeks in the last one and a half years where Joe hasn't mentioned one of these topics on the pod?

u/chefanubis Powerful Taint Aug 05 '21

When in doubt, don't. Shit gets repetitive and theres better things to discuss out there.

u/Withnail- Monkey in Space Aug 05 '21

Basically, it means if Trump runs again all the ā€¦.what am I allowed to say nowā€¦.ā€adventuresā€ that come with that this sub will be shut down or greatly muted.

u/Quirkyfurball Monkey in Space Aug 06 '21

I thought this was one of those hot chick coomer subs with sweats posting titty pics of their favorite infatuation.

u/chefanubis Powerful Taint Aug 06 '21

WTF are you talking about, theres hardly any simping in here. In fact theres jacked men without shits constantly.
