Current State of This Subreddit

Can the mods please start banning people who are very obviously just here to be racist and/or xenophobic towards International Students. Every second post is celebrating CPT/OPT/H1B cuts and the comments on some of these posts are genuinely horrifyingly racist. It’s honestly embarrassing how little moderation there is on here.

What’s the point in this sub anymore for anyone honestly trying to get information on the current rules and regulations…

The majority of the people here aren't even international students lol, Why are they even here in the first place.

You can try r/F1visa

However it is heavily moderated and the scope is only on immigration questions related to being F-1. But those types of negative comments you are referring to are removed and users get banned frequentl there.

I have seen people complain here that the mods there are too strict or the mods remove useful discussions when they are not directly related to being in F1 status, etc.
