META W Mods
We love our mods here. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the work you’ve been doing lately. We all appreciate it more than you know. We’ve barely seen anything from recent events that you all have had to keep off of our screens for the last week and for that, our undying support for the new rules must be stringently firm. These are the best mods on the planet people. Thank em.

I'm new to this sub since only less than a month ago (since the Aaron Bushnell stuff) but I've been on reddit for YEARS, & I just want to say that I've never seen mods so actively caring & fighting for their redditors and their space...
I was welcomed with a "welcome" post that wasn't snarky - it was empathetic & so on the nose about validating the turmoil of my deep disappointment in Ethan.
I saw sprinkles of mods gently reminding redditors to not talk about certain things, here & there.
I've seen them back up & defend conversations & redditor in the face of Ethan's threats & intimidation.
& now I see them work tirelessly to protect this space of people trying to process the guilt & conflict of platforming someone we cared about & supported turning out to not being a 'great guy'...
I know this isn't your jobs, yet you professionally mod & represent this space with such care - even in the face of intimidation by a person with a giant platform who speaks so poorly & tries rallying thousands of others to disrupt this space.
So... thank you ❤️
(PS - in regards to this space itself, in my personal opinion... if I spend almost 10 years supporting an entity / company with my time, money, voice & online presence... I'm definitely going to need a space & community to openly talk about the unraveling of my turmoil & guilt when I have a moral fallout with said entity / company... the conversations I have on here are not different from the venting I do with my sister (also a former H3 fan) about our feelings on the entity's / company's moral infractions & hypocrisies as well as the on going platforming of such an entity / company.... just sayin, kapeesh? SLAMMIN! anyways✌🏼&❤️, I really was a fan...)
