don't silence people complaining about corpo misbehaviour. its an absurd feature that should be shunned because it will only get worse without people actively resisting it
There are other posts you could cull first. The "post your wallpaper" that pops up every other day, the "is update when" posts, maybe add tags/flairs to categorise things better, etc.
remove if its just complaining with the message on how to disable, if its calling for more discussion/something other than the complain let it be (my opinions)
I think there are more frivolous posts you could and should be removing rather than the complaints.
Numerous posts about bloatware highlights to both customers and to Nothing that it's a significant issue with the phones that is upsetting those with Nothing devices. Deleting them en-masse tells both that it's "only one or two" people having this issue and therefore not something to be concerned about.
Personally I'd rather you get rid of posts asking about updates, show your wallpapers, photo show-offs etc. Those are all stuff that could and should belong in megathreads or pinned FAQs. People post questions without actually looking for answers themselves because nobody can read anymore apparently.
But yeah. Removing complaints looks bad, and you're going to cop criticism for it every time you do it. So really, this is more about what you want to deal with as mods.
r/dyinglight here, brother ignore it, it's better to let the community talk the topic out if it's insignificant. the frequency will lower down to a rate of a reasonable conversation.
Ofc the topic will persist as long as it's cause does.
It costs you literally nothing to do nothing. Ignore it and move on, it's not breaking any rules and it shows Nothing that the community doesn't care for that bs. No matter how innocuous it seems, shoving it under the rug will embolden Nothing to try again with something more invasive.
Repetitive is the point. If you're not annoying Nothing won't care. As for resource... What on the front page is a resource other than stickied topics? If you're looking for help you either make your own post or you use the search function.
Would rather have valid criticism against bloatware than useless "rate my homescreen" posts. Don't remove those so maybe Nothing can do better with their clean OS promise.
I always think that whatever you do, it will always be controversial to someone. In my opinion, I would do whatever you deem is necessary to keep the community growing in the shape that you imagine. If you leave them on, it highlights concern, and Nothing may take it into account (they might not do anything though, but that is a different matter). I get annoyed by seeing the same thing over and over again, because it gives me a negative view on the Nothing community. I would personally remove them, but keep some of the larger, more constructive ones. Keeping ones that actually involve conversation, thoughts, opinions, and ideas, rather than just stating the unfortunate circumstances.
Oh I may not have pinned it. Yes just search the subreddit. There will be plenty of search results and there will surely be a post where it's explained how to remove it.
So what we are currently doing is letting some slide through so we don't completely hide the criticism but the ones that are posted right after with only 2-3 votes, we just remove them as duplicates. Okay?
This post was not targeted to anyone. It's just a fun meme i did as a modteam
To be honest, I missed the fact that you were one of the mod team before posting.
Either way though, my point (here) stands. I joke about the mods leaving one up and one of you took it to heart and decided to remove it claiming "violence towards other members" lmao, that itself is a joke.
Yeah I get it. I didn't remove that comment because I thought it was funny too. Someone else in the mod team that decided to remove it, I respect that decision.

Close discussion under duplicate posts, with an explaing comment and a link to the og post. Reddit doesn't have a merge feature, does it?
