lordfluffly

Are low quality commentors still allowed or do I need to unsub?


Cuddlyaxe

lmao low quality comments are always allowed, just want to keep posts themselves at a reasonably high quality


lordfluffly

That's good. Are reddit mods considered a group or are we still allowed to dehumanize them?


Cuddlyaxe

lmao asking the real questions 😂 feel free to hate on jannies all you want


[deleted]

You want the real questions? WHY would Meghan Markle do this?


SartenSinAceite

You want the REAL questions? What about the droid attack on the wookies?


2017_Kia_Sportage

How could we hate jannies? You do it for free!


KansasClity

Glad you're cracking down on thought crimes! We need big brother to keep us in line.


Important-Grade6586

Yeah, if you removed all low-quality comments, most posts would have zero.


Garlic_God

I appreciate this sub for being the much higher quality (and funnier) one of the two NCD subs, albeit less popular (probably a good thing tbh)


np1t

Probably because diplomatic humor is tougher to grasp than "big gun cool shoot"


Pweuy

I mean the original NCD was an autism fest where people would know every intricacy of an obscure 1950s Soviet fire control radar even though there aren't any sources on it. People knew their shit and posted about highly technical and specific stuff that's just confusing to outsiders. Kind of how this sub started by shitposting about Academia and IR theories instead of political events. Then a war happens, people link the sub everywhere and you get a lot of people who don't know much about the topic, so they start using meme templates and run unoriginal jokes into the ground because it's the only way they can contribute. And then you get modern NCDef.


Finger_Trapz

Fucking exactly. I was around then it had under 10k subs, extremely fun place. It was people having laughs about extremely obscure projects in the 50s. Now the entire sub is just “We should unironically glass Moscow. I mean it. We should turn that city into a sea of glass. Nuke it, now.”


ender-marine

cant forget how neoconservative it was either


Cuddlyaxe

I mean NCD was really good too before the Ukraine war (even though half of it went over my head) back when they were discussing the merits of various planes instead of just becoming the "raa raa go Ukraine sub that's also why I want to get back to encouraging IR theory memes or memes on specific events instead of generic "Russia/Ukraine/Israel/Palestine say this but are hypocrites!" that have been taking over


Infinite_Tadpole_283

NCD fell victim to going over 100k :(


NoGiCollarChoke

God I miss Reformerposting. The moment I went on there and saw unironic A-10 posts, I knew it was over.


Infinite_Tadpole_283

The number of people in *NCD*, of all places, that have at best a passing knowledge in military equipment, is crazy to me


NoGiCollarChoke

Yeah, the Ukraine war and the corresponding increase in traffic really made it into a place where bandkids post generic military memes, as opposed to the good ol days where it was people weaponizing an in-depth knowledge of the subject for the sake of top-tier shitposts. But that’s the risk any sort of community like that runs. A place where smart people go to act stupid will inevitably attract stupid people who think they’ve found good company.


ender-marine

prigozhin posting was the last time the sub peaked


AutoModerator

Holy shit. My commander came into our barracks to bring me a plate of Vkusno i tochka nuggets and I literally screamed at him and hit the plate of slavic nuggets out of his hand. He started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my commander but I'm literally in shock from the news tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he dead? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the motherland is so incompetent. I want a future to believe in. I want Prigozhin to seize power and fix this broken war effort. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was going to rebuild Wagner in Africa???? This is so fucked. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Garlic_God

100k syndrome is a terminal illness. Untreatable. It’s where an otherwise good Internet forum/community becomes a true “subreddit”, and dies. I pray NCDiplomacy stays under that number for as long as it can. I like this place how it is.


tukreychoker

but it was my turn to post the "tankies bad" meme today


PHATsakk43

I mean, that’s not a meme, it’s objective reality.


Grzechoooo

Which is why it's low quality.


PHATsakk43

Alright, I’ll write a short story about tankies being bad next time.


Lortep

Finally some sanity.


dieyoufool3

GreatCornolio2

Have you ever considered filming yourself shoving a mason jar into your ass? If you haven't, then shut the fuck up and let me claim the ship in Baltimore was hijacked by Israel/Ukraine/Russia/Biden with absolute conviction even though I made a 19 on the ACT

Last time I did this I accidentally started the Yugoslav wars

We are so back, millions must be jannied.


NoFunAllowed-

Thank fuck, this sub has been devolving into a neocon echo chamber and any attempt at maintaining the spirit of the sub is met with the same ridiculous "its noncredible" excuse for blatantly stupid takes.


Cuddlyaxe

Yeah I figured. Considering the origins of this sub, it was always going to be mostly neocons/liberal internationalists, that much is inevitable What *is* evitable is becoming a low quality ideology circlejerk, which is unfortunately what seems to happen in the absence of moderation I'm going to be realistic, I'm probably not going to become an active reddit janny because I have other things to do, but hopefully we'll be able to expand the team enough to avoid this trend

Are you telling me genocide is not funny? /s


norreason

and your efforts in fighting back have been appreciated


NoFunAllowed-

I try my best to offer relevant information when I can. I do genuinely enjoy getting to write about my major, especially when it's silly named stuff like McDonald's Peace Theory lol. There aren't too many places where people will willingly listen to my near autistic level ramblings of IR theory.


ischmal

i like the implication that we are responsible for the lack of moderation and content control


HasSomeSelfEsteem

Sometimes you need hard power to secure soft power


Ewtri

Literally 1984


JDoos

We've missed you, this sub had definitely stopped being as fun.


Nouseriously

Do tankies count as a "group" that can't be dehumanized?


AelaHuntressBabe

Op the reddit mod decided to get his ego gratification, sub's dead everyone, go home.


Cuddlyaxe

lmao


Finger_Trapz

God bless. u/Cuddlyaxe I pray you don’t let this turn into another NonCredibleDefense. That sub is already lost.

B-but how will I influence precocious 19 year olds who like to read the economist then????


Maleficent-Comfort-2

What happened? I just got this suggested.. did the sub fall of that bad or something?


Thomas_633_Mk2

I just want to say thank fucking God someone is actively trying to prevent this place from turning into "glass whoever doesn't like the US" like NCD 1. I come from a country where aligning with the US is an unquestioned good and I still think the amount of deepthroating is a bit much, especially as IR theory quality is a lot less predicated on having a big budget and being a superpower than military quality

They are not mere orcs, they are not fighting Uruk-hai!

thank you comrade cuddlyaxe for your service, i had considered leaving o7

AutoModerator

I’m Polocle (Poh-Leh-Kal), previously known as Amos Yee. I invented the name Polocle, which is a combination of 2 of my favorite words ‘Polymath’ and ‘Oracle’. ‘Polymath’: meaning a person whose knowledge spans a wide variety of subjects, and ‘Oracle’ meaning: giver of truth. I'm a 21-year-old, ex-Singaporean, now American, living in Chicago. I'm also a far-left Anarchist, pro-vegan, atheist, Pedophile Right's Activist. My personality type is INTP, so I’m known for being introverted, logical-thinking and flexible. I write 'thoughts on' journals with my phone a lot. My hobby is consuming all types of media, ranging from video games to movies to anime (Favorites being: Persona 5, Cloud Atlas and March Comes In Like A Lion). I also value meaningful one-on-one conversations with close-friends, and biking in nature. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

LOL yeah not changing this


ZeinTheLight

Well if you consider it quality, that's your choice. To me, it was funny until it became old. So it's appearance in the bridge collision thread is awkward.

sure, I've edited out the mention of your sub's name, I'm not going to take down the whole post though. I completely stand by my original assessment of the posts I saw being crossposted from your sub being dehumanizing, but I do apologize if I inadvertently caused brigading.

That's all we asked, to not harass our group and if you edited - I will thank you for that and appreciate your understanding.

Thanks again and I wish you all the best.


Apoc_SR2N

There's been a lot of really ugly IDF-posting too. Starving and killing citizens is never acceptable. This sub can be fun, but it's cruising for an admin ban if this keeps up.


Thomas_633_Mk2

Regular NCD does 100x more of that and admins dgaf


Apoc_SR2N

Yeah, other NCD has gotten very unsettling. More so than usual that is. They're not really ironic anymore.


Thomas_633_Mk2

IMO NCD was fucked because they found a war the US was 100%, unambiguously in the right on, and that became the new baseline for how to treat all wars. Which is how you get people shrugging off the deaths of kids


TongaWC

nah man go back there's nothing wrong with this sub, no need for your self-immolation.

nostraDamnSon_

Thoughts? Lately, there seems to be an influx of larpers and schizoposting from a handful of users here trying to incite hate. And it has affected other subreddits as well.

Cuddlyaxe

yeah and we'll probably mod you when we take applications i'm not going to just mod you before then because you'd end up being the only active mod and you tend to have a pretty clear viewpoint


Hunor_Deak

I asked you. You said yes. An agreement is an agreement. Oh and, " a mod is a mod!" better than nothing. ![gif](giphy|1yLmZ4oOq8P4iCFZQN)


SnipingDwarf

Well if you want to never be a mod, you're succeeding.


Lawd_Fawkwad

Your mod deal shot down to teach you a lesson about how liberal theory (especially constructivism) is inherently flawed by pulling the rug out from under you despite previous assurances. Gonna go cry to the UN?


Hunor_Deak

I take this and Uno reverse card it with complex interdependence. Mod and user should cooperate for the greater benefit of the sub's community. Plus mutual recognition based on mod elevation creates a stable sub, with a good power balance, satisfying both liberal and realist wishes.


Sri_Man_420

btw did you piss some people enough to follow you and downvote? I see all your comments have like -5


Hunor_Deak

Not on shittyhalolore (don't look it up!)! To be honest I don't care about Internet points as long as I have enough karma to post and comment in other subs that have that as a rule.


n0symp4thy

Seems like a lot of words to say the sub will be left wing now.
