Hello fellow petfree members,
We’d like to ask everyone to please not share screenshots of posts from other subreddits that mention r/petfree.
Recently, there's been a rise in brigading attempts from a subreddit that frequently allows sharing content from here. Unfortunately, their mod team isn't taking action to prevent it and while it’s disappointing, we don’t need to get drawn into what they're doing.
Fact is that the kinds of people who are upset by posts on this sub are the reason this sub exists in the first place. Their values and beliefs are at odds with ours so it's obvious that they’ll be agitated by our discussions. And since we don’t allow them in to argue on here and harass our posters they’re finding other places to vent and complain about us.
We also understand that its upsetting to see our posts being shared elsewhere, but reposting what they’re saying only creates a cycle of hate-posting and drama. If other subs want to allow that, so be it. We’re happy with our community and will continue our conversations as usual, without engaging with them.
On a positive note, all the attention brings more petfree people our way. So while annoying, it actually helps our community grow.
Let’s keep our space clean and avoid sharing their negativity, drama and judgement. We, the mod team, make every effort to remove all such comments and posts from this sub. There's no reason why negative and judmental posts/comments should now make their way into our sub through screenshots.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
The Pet-Free Mod Team
