📣Announcement regarding new rule
It genuinely hurts me to even write this, but sometimes the harsh truth is too important to come aloud infront of all cause some people here seriously need to hear this.
This subreddit was created to be a safe space not a cheap replacement for Tinder, dating apps, or late-night horny DMs or comments. Yes, many of us, here struggle with loneliness, depression, and emotional isolation and we completely understand that. So we empathize but sympathy does not mean allowing the entire atmosphere of this community to turn uncomfortable, desperate, or toxic. The constant "looking for a girl to chat," "DM me I’m lonely," type posts or comments are getting out of our hands. And before anyone starts crying in the comments or smashing the downvote button out of frustration try to understand this very clearly. This is not about attacking lonely people. This is about maintaining a basic decency and respect for the subreddit as well as their members. Over the past few months, we’ve received multiple reports about people acting creepy, rude, manipulative, or outright disgusting in comments or DMs after connecting through such posts. We were lenient cause we believe people can post anything related to their life freely and we didn't even want to interfere in that but once it starts affecting the community and making members uncomfortable, it becomes our business.
So from now, direct dating, looking for friends or disguised hookup styled posts will be removed asap.
If you genuinely want to connect with people, learn how to post with maturity on a subtle note. There’s a respectful way to socialize without making the subreddit feel like a desperate dating marketplace. Basic manners, the atmosphere of the community and the comfort of viewers matter. Even if one person feels unsafe, irritated, or disturbed because of these posts, that’s already a major problem for each one of us. We want this subreddit to remain free, peaceful, supportive, soothing, and non-toxic and comfortable.
Cooperate. Respect the space. And please behave yourself like a responsible adult.
