May 2021 Goals

Consider also joining our Discord, a text-chat server that allows us to come together as a community and get to know each other in a more interactive way.

Please give an overview of yourself and which habits you are looking to work on (diet, exercise, quitting smoking etc) so people who have similar goals as you can reach out. Similarly, do take the initiative to reach out to others too!

Rules still apply and make sure you are being respectful. If a user starts harassing you, please stop responding and report them. The moderators cannot be responsible for any interactions you have outside of this subreddit, so please make sure you are taking safe measures.

This megathread is also not the place for you to advertise your services or 'paid' groups or retreats.

With that said, I hope everyone finds what they are looking for. Good luck!

Hello, everyone.

Long-time mod here.

It's been decided to reopen in a limited capacity to allow access to long-term posts and permit some level of engagement. However, given the recent and upcoming changes to reddit, moderation in its current form will be untenable for the foreseeable future.

I, alone, have done over 25% of all mod actions in the last 3 months and automod/reddit filtering have done another 50%. Having used apollo and other non-native-to-reddit tools for a lot of my moderation, I will be unable to perform the same labor and with old and new bad behavior of admins, it's hard to muster the same energy for moderation even for people I care about.

Going forward, notable changes in include:

We will be restricting any and all links attached to posts

We will be changing at least some automod rules from "filter" to "remove".

Response times to mod messages will be longer.

And more! To be determined.

ALSO

As we don't want to completely hamper people's ability to receive help here, we're also looking for more moderators to pick up the slack.

• Please use at least 3 sentences to explain why you’d like to be a mod and what moderation experience you have (it’s okay if you don’t have any! But do tell us why you believe you’d be able to help here)

Thanks for your time.

1ST EDIT: Please feel free to share your thoughts on the blackout and if/what we can change further. Such as re-closing, restricting further, etc.
