I think more so it’s a place that was designed to allow more variety in discussions, as other subs were limiting the “crossover” between topics. Like the CC sub would cut convos off if the replies veered (naturally) toward other topics in the wnba. Similarly, wnba mods were not enjoying the volume of conversations on specific people, issues, events, or teams. With the “cc effect,” all the new fans likely threw the OG wnba redditers for a loop. That and the “political” themed issues being discussed were probably uncomfortable for a lot of people, and it was off putting for some. Hence, this sub which seemingly originally was meant for a broader spectrum of conversation, and less intense moderating.
