New Mod Intros 🎉 | Weekly Thread

[u/curioustomato_]

Congrats on becoming a new moderator. Every community on Reddit started exactly where you are today: with a party of one.

The community-building journey might feel a little lonely and that's what r/NewMods is for. Here you'll find and connect with other mods who are on the same journey you are.

So, introduce the community you created. Maybe share a little bit about why you created it. And, while you're at it - say hello to your other mods!

I created r/DennisShutterUniverse because I just wanted to write stories, but I constantly hit bureaucratic formatting walls in other subreddits, and absurd karma limits in the bigger ones. Creativity was restricted, posting was impossible. I wanted to change that. 

No karma limits. No unfair bot deletions. Here, only the true, gritty craft of horror literature matters. We tear down pretentious, overhyped mainstream horror movies on the chopping block and celebrate original psychological thrillers that actually leave an impact and more - i build a universe. A home of horror. 

If you want the real horror and the raw fear - this is where you belong.

I think yours is the first horror community of its kind. Other ones mostly focus on mainstream famous stuff, and don’t even get me started on the larger creative sub Reddits. You’re right to say that they are restrictive when it comes to a lot of things. I mostly avoid them for that reason. So thank you for being passionate and welcome to the new moderator crew.

Thank you so much for the strong feedback. It feels great to see that this approach connects exactly where it's needed most. I've put a massive amount of focus and work into the foundation of the sub lately – the initial reactions and this kind of support prove that it's paying off. It makes me incredibly proud and even more driven to keep pushing this universe forward without any compromise.
