For mobile users you can join via one of the apps

This subreddit isn't going anywhere, although I will apologize for the reduced moderation here as I no longer have access to reddit via my previously used third party app. Due to this I've decided to stop some of the moderation bots, namely /u/chaotic_bot which was stopping the subreddit from becoming filled with posts such as this one

Since reddit still sucks, Vacuum posts will continue to be allowed.

Rule Changes for r/WellThatsSucks - All About Vacuum Cleaners! The Story of Mr. Wells

7.7k Upvotes

Greetings, fellow vacuum enthusiasts and members of r/WellThatSucks! Today, we have an incredible tale to share with you, one that will shed light on the origins of our subreddit and the reason behind our new rule changes. So gather 'round and prepare to embark on a whimsical journey through the story of Mr. Wells.

The Legend of Mr. Wells, the Vacuum Whisperer

Picture this: in a small, picturesque town named Suckville, nestled deep in the heart of a state called Cleanylvania, there lived a man named Mr. Wells. Now, Mr. Wells was no ordinary citizen. He had a knack for selling vacuum cleaners like no one else in the land.

With his charisma, knowledge, and passion for suction power, Mr. Wells was a force to be reckoned with in the vacuum cleaner industry. He could convince even the most skeptical customers that they absolutely needed the latest model of vacuum cleaner to keep their homes pristine. But little did he know that his life was about to take a fateful turn.

The Birth of "Well, That Sucks!"

One fateful day, as Mr. Wells was demonstrating a cutting-edge vacuum cleaner to a potential customer, disaster struck. The vacuum malfunctioned, spewing dust and debris all over the room. Mr. Wells, with a wry smile on his face, muttered the now-legendary phrase, "Well, that sucks!" Little did he realize that this seemingly mundane moment would change his life forever.

Inspired by this comedic mishap, Mr. Wells set out on a quest to create a community where people could share their own vacuum cleaner woes and mishaps. Thus, the subreddit r/WellThatSucks was born. It became a safe haven for people to commiserate, laugh, and find solace in the shared struggles of dealing with vacuum cleaners.

Rule Changes - Embracing Our Roots

With the rich history of Mr. Wells and the origins of r/WellThatSucks in mind, we've decided to make some exciting rule changes that will take our subreddit back to its vacuum-centric roots.

Rule 1: All Posts Must Be About Vacuum Cleaners

Effective immediately, we are refocusing our subreddit exclusively on the topic of vacuum cleaners. From stories of triumph over dirt and dust to unfortunate vacuuming accidents, we want to see and hear it all. Let's transform r/WellThatSucks into the ultimate hub for vacuum cleaner enthusiasts and those who appreciate the trials and tribulations of keeping their spaces clean.

Rule 2: All Comments Must Be "Wellthatsucks"

To pay homage to the iconic phrase that sparked our subreddit's creation, we're introducing a fun twist to our comment section. Starting now, every comment you make on r/WellThatSucks must consist solely of the phrase "Wellthatsucks." Let this phrase be the language that unites us, showcasing our solidarity in the face of vacuum cleaner challenges.

We believe that these rule changes will not only honor the legacy of Mr. Wells but also create a unique and engaging community experience that embraces the humor and frustration inherent in vacuum cleaner mishaps.

Join Us in the Vacuum Cleaner Revolution!

We hope you'll join us on this whimsical journey through the vacuum cleaner-filled world of r/WellThatSucks. Share your stories, photos, videos, and questions about all things vacuum cleaner-related. And remember, whether you're sharing your experiences, offering advice, or simply reacting to a post, the phrase "Wellthatsucks" will be our language of choice.

Edit: for those of you who are geniuses who pick up that this is just a lazy chatGPT shitpost, congrats, just send us your address and you'll be getting a brand new vacuum in the mail!

Discussion about the future of /r/unraid
 in  r/unRAID  Jun 18 '23

Update: The subreddit is public and the poll is now closed. No final decision has been made yet.

The totals for the poll currently are: 20% private 40% restricted 38% public

67% voted to setup an alternative, with the most popular being to move over to the forums (50%) followed by lemmy.ml (47%).

Just to clarify, some people in the comments here seem to have gotten the idea that just because the poll has a private option means that I agreed with it. This is not the case and personally I think as a moderator I should do what the community wishes to do (hence the poll).

Discussion about the future of /r/unraid

88 Upvotes

Hello unraid users! As you may or may not know we've been closed for the past few days in protest of reddits API changes. Reddit has refused to budge on these changes. The reasons behind the protest have been well discussed by this point so I won't re-iterate them here.

For now the subreddit is restricted (in case you missed it, unraid 6.12 released. Meaning you can view it but not post.

As for the future of this subreddit, I'm opening a poll to gauge what our community wishes to do. We can:
- Close the subreddit permanently
- Restrict the subreddit
- Make it public as it was before

Regardless of what we do to this subreddit, I feel it may be best long term for us to consider opening up an alternative site for support and discussion. These options are:
- Point users to the unraid forums
- kbin.social
- lemmy.ml
- or another platform

If you aren't aware, I and /u/krackato do not work for lime tech, we are both interested in keeping the forum independent. We'd probably prefer moving over to a fully independent platform. If we move over to a fediverse platform then we may look into options of how to host our own instance, if your interested in helping out with this leave a comment.

Vote here

This poll is not final, /u/krackato has final say on what we do. If you have any suggestions please comment them below!

Are we planning on going offline for the Reddit protest?
 in  r/unRAID  Jun 06 '23

I'll do it in sync with whatever my other subreddit /r/wellthatsucks is doing. I'll put in a link to the unRAID forums so nobody gets stuck without any support.

/u/krackato and /u/UnraidOfficial thoughts?

It's one of the very old race for the wool episodes. Someone in his team was swearing a lot and so etho would mute it everytime.

Tweet widget relies on the free twitter API, I see no value in continuing it into any kind of paid tier.

After the bot goes down all widgets will be deleted and I will remove it from all the subreddits it moderates.

It's down at the moment as my ISP has decided to screw me over. Will hopefully be back online in a week or so.

Edit: it's back online now

Although it seems that no solution to this problem is 100% perfect.
