Permanently Deleted
when your commie board has a stonks sub before a personal finance one
They already are (and were before as well towards a containment thread), see the modlog.
It’s better as a meme stock sub and that will be what draws people over from the WSB hype if anything.
Making a separate finance sub for non-memes would be a lot better, because people usually want to be able to separate those for serious advice.
Yeah, even before this people were asking for a “line go up” comm and this is basically that. I think seeing how this pans out and repurposing it if no one uses it or creating a more serious comm if it takes off is a good idea.
It’s not like containment groups ever backfired and had the exact opposite effect of what was intended, bringing in the worst people imaginable, who then overtook the entire site, or anything.
ahh yess slowly this site will turn into wallstreetbets for sure
you are right that we should delete the containment comm and tell them to post to main like they were before, thatll prevent them from overtaking the site
Dude you’re brilliant! Let’s shut down all the posting to really sure this place up.
I think I agree with you in principle given that the only examples I know about are reddit containment subs that were complete failures. That said I do wonder how much the the ineffectiveness came down to reddit’s complete unwillingness to actually curtail the bad behavior rather than to just make a show of doing something about it for plausible deniability.
All previous containment communities I can think of have all backfired.
But they were permanent containment attempts, whereas after reading site administrator comments, this looks to be a temporary containment attempt, which will morph into a finance board when the hullabaloo is over.
So I’m a bit more comfortable less uncomfortable, with its existence.
And I guess my opinion of what it eventually turns into really depends on how much the mods and site admins allow vs crack down on, day trading discussions.
Subs/communities work for categorization but are not really effective demarcation for containment since there is no real barrier for the users.
What will matter is the ratio of new users to the capacity of the site to induct those users to the established norms. The latter I think is comprised of the number of established users, the “confrontationalness” of those users, number of mods and the willingness of the mods to enforce rules. I think reddit containment failed because the chuds are more numerous and militant than the subreddit mods and the site admins are unconcerned with the quality of the site provided growth metrics are good.
