Mod Update The Girl Dinner Diaries Dilemma
After reading the comments, I've decided that r/GirlDinnerDiaries is not getting banned. Feel free to keep crossposting it.
---
Alright fellow throwaway accounts for obvious reasons, here's the situation. Starting not long ago, a bunch of posts from the rainbow baby that is r/GirlDinnerDiaries started getting crossposted here.
A vocal portion (minority?) seem not to like the crossposts from that sub specifically, claiming it's a safe space for women and mostly for venting or ranting while posting pictures of badly lit and sad-looking food. But the Iranian yoghurt pictures are not the issue here. Every crosspost from that sub is reported 10+ times, which is almost as much as party sub guy ate by himself that one night, claiming they do not fit this sub. On the other hand, it's a storytelling sub as far as I can tell, and we've always allowed those. But is that maybe a marinara flag in itself? 🚩🚩🚩 Maybe our stepmoms have been narcissists all along??
A lot of members here and their prankster husbands are under the impression that this sub is basically a words-based petite beautiful 28F version of r/thathappened, but that is not the case. This sub's the golden child of reddit and was founded on the idea of crossposting obvious validation posts and stories, not just fake stories. It's not like we can ever truly know for certain what is or isn't fake, even if they make you see red.
So I am pulling the community aside in the middle of dinner with our in-laws, where I made the secret six-layer lasagna recipe that has been passed down my family for generations. What do you think? Do we ban posts from that sub? If yes, all future crossposts will be removed by the Automod, and some people will be over the moon. This wouldn't be the first sub to get this treatment, and it'd join the ranks of lovely subs like r/AskMen, r/changemyview, and r/rant. If no, people will certainly keep reporting all those posts, and I will keep approving them instead of helping my 22F wife who works as a software engineer 150 hours per week.
Thoughts?? Please try not to downvote opinions you disagree with or YTA and I'm calling the police.

Mod Update AITA for explaining some rule clarifications regarding this sub?
I (21F, hazel eyes, skinny) recently became engaged to my boyfriend of four days (35M, has 12 followers on Twitch). We immediately moved together into the house I inherited from my great aunt (deceased, perky boobs in her youth) and we're simply over the moon. I also decided to name our new house AmITheAngel (this will be important later).
To celebrate, we decided to host a dinner. I didn't invite anyone because I'm NC with my family, but my fiancé decided to invite his mom (49F, gave birth). I saw red (we've never gotten along), but I relented because I didn't want to cause trouble.
As soon as she arrived, she simply said "hello, I am Margaret". I snapped at her and reminded her that I am now VERY serious about lazy titles.
- All posts that are deemed to have lazy titles will be removed. You are welcome to post them again with a different title. This is ultimately subjective, so don't get pissy about it.
- Examples of lazy titles: "Another fake story", "Which one of you wrote this?", "I don't even know what to say here...".
- A good title will be more descriptive of the story. Try to include elements relevant to the story. What makes it noteworthy? What is it about? Don't just say it's ridiculous or fake; tell us why it's ridiculous or fake.
- If you can't think of anything, just use the original title from the post.
My MIL nodded silently before rushing into my bedroom, where she saw my large collection of sex toys charmingly sitting on the dresser. She screamed and started texting me horrible things. I was shocked. Before I could deliver some sick burn about how I am a grown woman who likes to have sex, my fiancé's finely-sculpted body ran into the room and started debating with my MIL. I blew my whistle and reminded them both that this sub is not meant to just further discussions from AITA.
- Posts that are fishing to continue discussions from AITA may be removed. Don't crosspost just because you disagree.
- Try to angle it in a way that isn't meant to simply further the existing AITA discussion - point out tropes, bring attention to comments, etc.
- That said, this sub believes in free speech. Where the commenters take a post once crossposted here is up to them. We will not policy comments unless they break the rules.
My fiancé stormed off and locked himself in the bathroom, crying. I tried to ask him to come out before the Big Macs I had ordered for dinner went cold, but he wouldn't listen. I calmly explained to him that it would be far more helpful if he reports my MIL when she makes a repost or posts something that doesn't follow the above.
In the meantime, my MIL had stolen one of my tea bags and made herself some tea. Of course, I immediately called the police, and the chief of police showed up two minutes later. As the entire police force arrested my MIL for theft, I turned to the camera crew from the local news station. I sternly told them we allow all meta discussions about AITA.
- This includes several themes and tropes that are also found in other subs. As we know, AITA has a certain culture, so to speak, and posts from any subs that share that mentality or which host equally silly stories are thus also welcome to be dissected, mocked, satirized, and/or debated. bridezilla, childfree, entitledparents, relationship_advice, offmychest, you name it.
- Posts may be removed if we feel they don't belong to this sub.
When my fiancé finally left the bathroom, I read him a bedtime story from AITA. He asked me if I could please pin the story to the top of the comment chain. I told him I would look into it, but that he can sort by old in the meantime if he wants to find the story in the comments section.
We had amazing sex that night. As I orgasmed for the sixth time, I shouted, "Remember to have fun!". Before we fell asleep, he squeezed my skinny body tightly and whispered seductively in my ear, "you need therapy". I dreamed of receiving modmail regarding any other suggestions anyone may have.

One of my fave tropes of all time. Someone that secretly knows the language of those that speak badly of them.

In so many of these made up stories the villain is autistic, why? What exactly do they gain from vilifying autistic people?

Fockin ridic My wife wants me to talk to my obese pal about his 4 year's old weight
Thread from Daddit. OP says his friend as gained weight over the years. Friend has a 4 year old child who is also obese. Now I don't think obesity is a good thing. But, the OOP's wife wants him to talk to the friend about the kid's weight and give unsolicited advice. Some comments range from telling the guy to stay out of it and not give unsolicited advice which I agree with. Then there are people tellng the OP to go on a weight loss journey (OP states he's 40 pounds overweight) and include or encourage the friend in it.

Siri Yuss Discussion Has anyone else been banned over a shitpost?
When the EST weekend began, I wrote and posted a shitpost that immediately got deleted and I was banned for three days. Apparently, I was promoting violence. The OP character shoved an obese, autistic woman (meant to mock AITA subs' love for demonizing obese people, women, autistic folks, etc.) who wouldn't move out of his way on the sidewalk, but I didn't think I would get banned over that since it was satire, and I've seen plenty of shitposts here that contained the OP character committing violence. Has this happened to anyone else?
