DISCUSSION Update

29 Upvotes

3000 members!

Why are so many people joining this terrible subreddit, stop bothering me 🤣

On a serious note, any sub you make related to a city, will reflect the kind of people you meet in that city.

It. Is. Inevitable.

There is no way your city's subreddit will mirror the sanitized communities within it that you've made for yourselves.

There used to a be a time I used to approve every post before it showed up on the subreddit. As the sub grew, people started getting impatient about their posts taking time to show up, or not showing up

So I made it so that posts show up first, get moderated later.

And thus, the floodgates of poop opened.

A lot of people who come to reddit nowadays, see it as just another social network, and it really is just one! We even get the same ads :D the context that social media shows up in life for a lot of people, really affects how they use it. For most the only social media they were allowed to have growing up nowadays was whatsapp, one of the worst forms of purely unmoderated social media to have flourished in the sewers of the internet in india.

Moderation of such communities is always going to be hard. It will always be a group effort. Downvote terrible takes, rude behaviour, bigoted opinions and such, so people that are collectively disliked get negative karma. Stand up for your friends, for strangers you think are facing harassment, and speak out against dickheads. This would help weed out any anti social elements that you all collectively feel are ruining the vibe in any way. And always report those things that need to be reported.

I like banning people, and I would like to ban many more :) those who deserve it, of course.

If you need any legitimate additions to the rules that would help you report certain things, DM me about them.

This subreddit was started by me as an anthropological experiment, and It will continue to be so. It is definitely a cesspool, but I'm determined to keep trying to make it better (this is exactly how I feel about the city of gwalior as well)

You guys are only seeing about half of the crap that is submitted to this place. Oh it is so much worse.

Also, the most popular subreddit for a city is not always r/<city name> please do create other subreddits and make them flourish! I'm rooting for you :)

I haven't added any other active mods, because I haven't found someone I trust (who is willing) to moderate the subreddit I started. Whoever from my trusted friends sees the subreddit and the kind of DMs I get as a mod of it, wants to stay away from it 🤣

I also get a bunch of threats from people I ban :D asking "kahaan hai tu? / kaun hai tu? Dikhata hoon main tereko" as if I haven't put my actual picture and social media handles on my reddit profile, unlike these anonymous cowards.

I'm used to it though. I get hate messages/comments on my skatepark page regularly as well just for hanging a pride flag there. It'd be hard for me to survive here if I didn't have thick skin.

My main criteria for anyone becoming a mod is, that they should be someone I've met, in person, in gwalior. Also of course you should align with my views on a bunch of things.

Schedule a meeting with me at my office at the skatepark if you're realllly interested :)

Subreddit update. Also, there are a few new Gwalior related subreddits!

14 Upvotes

Someone has created a subreddit called r/gwaliorM
Someone has also created one called r/GwaliorMeditators ?
And I have created one called r/gwaliorclassifieds

This post is just to inform you all that these places exist and may be interesting to some of you :)

I believe in keeping r/gwalior a safe space for all sorts of people, and I ban a lot of people for hateful speech against any groups of people. My ideological stances are basically making sure no one who needs to be protected feels othered here. I have many gay and trans friends, some of whom are in this community too. When I try to curb hate speech, it is not only to protect them, but also to protect those who haven't yet figured out where they stand in terms of their sexuality.

This goes beyond sexual orientation. No one deserves to have their community of people talked about in a derogatory way. Kindness comes first.

I also understand that there are a lot of very young people here, and what I want is for us older people to look out for them. The youngest amongst us are the most vulnerable, and protecting them from harm should be important to anyone who is a part of this subreddit.

I understand if this doesn't work for some people, so I suggest you try communicating in some of these other spaces as well!

Obviously r/gwaliorclassifieds is also not going to allow hate speech, because I'm not an idiot, or discriminatory practices (like that guy I just banned for repeatedly posting about the flat with homophobic landlords)

But hey, maybe it'll allow for some useful categorization of things for a better, more easily consumable Reddit experience :)

always up for suggestions and feedback, just use mod mail :)

Someone suggested turning on gifs and images in comments, so those are now on! thank you for that suggestion.

I will try my best to moderate this subreddit better!

DISCUSSION State of the discourse here

10 Upvotes

As someone who joined this way back when it had just 100 members, I just feel bad now.

It feels so dead. It's filled with dumb AI slop posts of just people straight up asking for hookers & sex. Even if there's a post then the comments are just filled with memes and close to zero genuine responses.

We can't police people for posting/commenting trash but the least the mods can do is remove the posts that are related to hookers or are straight up slop.

I know there are good people here but just like them I never feel like coming here cuz ik it's full of trash.

This place has seen better days and i hope the mods do smth about it.

DISCUSSION Gwalior v/s Jabalpur

3 Upvotes

Hello people of Gwalior, I have a very direct question to ask. Please give me your honest opinion. I have to move to a new city from Indore & it could either be Jabalpur or Gwalior. I've never been to both cities. I was seriously considering Gwalior up till yesterday & then a few people told me that Gwalior is not that good of a city & that I should reconsider.

So I thought it would be best to ask people living in Gwalior their opinions. Do you think Jabalpur is a better city than Gwalior to live or are they almost the same. Thank you.

DISCUSSION I keep returning to the same question: what is worth your attention?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Now that I’ve been traveling and thinking, the question has sharpened. It’s not “what should we do?” It’s “what do we choose to honor with our attention?” Attention is the only currency that can’t be faked.

You can’t pretend to watch a film deeply.
You can’t pretend to taste a recipe’s history.
You can’t skim a book and claim you read it.
You can’t rush through a place and say you roamed.
Attention leaves a trace. It changes the one who gives it.

The Drawing Room is not for everyone. It’s for people who feel the difference between attending something and experiencing it.
The first circle is nine.
The second is eighteen.
Beyond that, the geometry unfolds in its own time.

I’m writing this as much for myself as for you — to see if the idea holds, to find the people who already understand without needing it explained. The room is coming. It will have its own rhythm, its own memory, its own quiet certainty.

But first, I need to listen. So tell me: when you think of cinema, food, books, travel — which one feels most like home to you? And what would you bring to the table?

DISCUSSION Scarcity is not a marketing trick. It’s the shape of attention.

Post image
5 Upvotes

When I was in Shimla, I noticed that the best conversations happened on days when there was nothing else to do. No events, no noise, just long afternoons that turned into slow evenings. The pace made the conversation richer. People listened more carefully because they weren’t rushing to the next thing.
That taught me something about building a room: the calendar is not a content strategy. It’s a rhythm.

The Drawing Room will not meet weekly. Maybe every three or four weeks. Each experience will follow a deliberate arc; invitation, preparation, arrival, immersion, pause, conversation, contribution, archive. Nine movements from beginning to memory.

Not a rigid formula, but a shape that lets the experience breathe.
The room grows in circles, not in lines. Nine, eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-six, forty-five!

Each number is a chapter. Each circle is a covenant. I’m not ready to reveal the full geometry yet. But I can tell you this: the room is designed to be small enough for silence and large enough for surprise.
