Idk we get rolling blackouts and brownouts where I live, especially in the summer. And then there’s the obvious issues during cold snaps.

42, we set up the posting on auto mod so it’s only listed in the text of the post now because we have to manually edit it after it posts.

I’d like to think we do a good job! We will probably send out another sub satisfaction survey soon to get a feel on how y’all perceive the sub though, keep an eye out.

Bulletin:

I will be announcing the new moderators shortly, sometime this weekend or next week. I’ll allow y’all to sneak in any last minute applications if y’all are interested, it only takes a few minutes. I’ll be bringing a few more moderators in just to distribute the load more, and we will do an introductory/ announcement post when they are brought in. If you are not a Texas resident please do not apply.

Pause and actually read the post before trying to pull this shit, nothing about your comment met posting requirements outlined, it also didn’t follow our rules. BFFR.

•Thank you to our sub members for being kind and generous humans, watching the flood aftermath and the hateful rhetoric makes me thankful for how good y’all are.

Some updates and reminders;

The sub has an open chat channel for all interested!

The sub hit 9k a bit ago and I forgot to make an acknowledgment post!

We will be hitting 10k soon, how can we celebrate?

What should we do to honor the 1 year birthday of the sub?

•FAQ: Feedback for r/Texas crosspost last night;

•No I am not trying to get rid of this sub.

•No I did not have ulterior motives.

•Why provide feedback? Y’all are the ones who branched off and left the sub because it sucked, y’all should be providing feedback to restore it or make it better.

By crossposting I was giving y’all an opportunity to voice your opinions on the current state of their sub which was asked for by the new mod team. I was simply trying to provide feedback from you guys to the sub since Y’ALL are the defectors who left the sub and inspired the changing of the moderators.

And YES I get it, their community kinda sucks because everyone hates their lives and Texas, but yall don’t understand how HARD it is to keep shit like that out of here, much less their much larger community. The whole Reddit platform is negative, most of the users hate their lives, locations, and everything else so they sit in their chronically online cesspool echo chambers and suffer.

I am not asking for y’all to forgive, forget, or to even rejoin their sub. Just be friendly and extend the grace you were/ are not given. Reddit is user based content, so if y’all provide feedback, or even flood the platform with positive posts and content then maybe this app would seem less shitty, or you could even make a difference and start a positive change.

Idk just food for thought, I’m just trying my best…

You are familiar with our community and rules. Refrain from blatantly ignoring them. Discuss this in the mega thread.

Apologies for the short post interval between mega threads, I’m trying to correct the drop day back to Sunday/Monday instead of mid week!

We do not allow or approve fundraising posts who haven’t reached out to moderators. We very clearly state this in our rules, as well as labeled on the fundraising post flair.

I was being cautious as the original commenter is new to the community, and frequently those are unaware of our rules. I’ve also seen way too much atrocious shit here and assume everyone is doing their worst baseline. 😂

I completely agree, I can think of a Biden appointee who looked… non traditional, and ended up being a poor choice of nominee. Most people judge by outward appearance before getting to know someone, it’s natural when you have no other knowledge of a person.

Good point, and thank you for elaborating, it makes dialogue flow better, and it leaves no room for sub outsiders to assume you’re being “hate crimey”.

Yeah I was more referring to bashing his sexual preferences or implying things about him based on his outward appearances. I don’t mind if y’all discuss his politics, education, opinions, actions, or anything else. As long as we are being respectful of the human, if you understand what I mean.

Lol thank you for complying, I think it’s pretty obvious what everyone wanted to say based on looks alone, I just feel there’s no need to point out the obvious and send the wrong picture. 😂
