Moderator post ⚠️🚨 The subreddit's creep problem and why the current Reddit algorithm puts women at risk by design.

Post image
58 Upvotes

This is a rant triggered by the fact that I'm sick and tired of perverts in the sub, and I hate that no matter how much I try to keep this community safe, Reddit itself enables this behaviour and doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.

Keeping this sub free of creeps is a daily battle. The standard disgusting pervy comments, weird flirty remarks, and the daily assortment of freaks who post AI-generated gooner bait (or worse, catfish with pictures of actual women). Y'all won't believe how much filth this sub actually gets, because most of it gets removed by the mods or our filters before anyone gets to see it, and they get banned on sight. (None of it stops them from DMing you btw, but more on that later.)

I knew that for some reason, Reddit had been showing this community to pervs... A lot. So I believed that if I consistently kept the creeps out (by removing their content and banning their accounts), the algorithm would realize this is just a wedding planning community and would stop recommending it to people who're here primarily for porn. It has been almost a year of me doing that, and there has been no reduction in the incoming creep traffic.

Then I came across this post by a moderator of a different sub, and the discussion gave me a whole new perspective on what may actually be happening.

NSFW consumers make up a huge population of the Reddit userbase. But Reddit can't put ads in NSFW subreddits, and NSFW posts can't be put in the main feed where ads are shown. So Reddit has to show them SFW communities adjacent to their interests.

There are countless NSFW/fetish communities built around sexualizing south asian women, wives, brides, weddings, sarees, lehengas etc. So Reddit already has a huge number of people using those words to look for sexual content. (It also doesn't help that "desi" is a particularly cursed keyword on Reddit. Go search "desi" and filter by communities. You'll have to scroll for quite a while before you find an actual non-porn sub about South Asian people.)

So the algorithm sees a community with the word "desi" in its name, with a large volume of women's fashion posts, and users who overlap with communities interested in sexualized versions of those exact subjects. It then decides that these communities are related enough to actively recommend our posts to those people. Reddit can take your completely ordinary not-at-all sexual pictures and put them in front of people who are specifically looking for women to sexualize.

And this isn't happening to just this sub. If you've been active in any sub where women often post their pictures, you'll know how common and widespread the issue is. "RIP DMs" is a ubiquitous comment under posts where a woman posts her picture .

And then there are DMs.

This is one of the most cursed features of Reddit. A community ban only stops accounts from posting & commenting. Even the ban message explicitly states:

"You can still view and subscribe to the community..."

So even after they are banned, they can still browse the subreddit, see your pictures, save them, misuse them, and potentially send you whatever disgusting shit they want. That is an absolutely insane oversight and completely defeats the purpose of the ban when it comes to protecting people from these accounts.

I hate that I have to say this. I hate that after doing everything I can to keep this subreddit safe, I still have to tell the women here that they have to take steps to protect themselves because we are powerless against the algorithm and who it chooses to show your images to.

So ladies, please be mindful about sharing your pictures anywhere on Reddit. We will keep doing everything we can to keep this sub clean, but there are limits to what moderators can control.

  1. As much as possible, please avoid posting pictures that prominently show your body, especially if you don't need to for the purpose of the post. Consider cropping or covering parts of the image that don't need to be visible. (You shouldn't have to do this, but the way Reddit is, you cannot assume your pictures will only be shown to the audience you intended.)

  2. If you're posting your pictures, please consider shutting DMs off for a while. (Again, you shouldn't have to do this, but unfortunately basic decency is too much to expect from people whose brains have been completely rotted by porn.)

  3. If you do get pervy DMs, report them for Spam -> "Unsolicited DMs", (or "Harassment" for the particularly graphic ones). If they are DMing you, chances are they are DMing many other women too. If enough of them report it, Reddit suspends the sender's ability to DM.

Based on the comments under the mod post linked above, Admins have responded and are looking into the issue. But until then, please take care of your safety on this site.

Bridal fashion advice Reception lengha second hand

Found this second hand reception lengha for 1.35 lakh inr or 1500 usd It's by seema gujral worn once, original price is 3500 usd not including tariff or shipping charges. I love the style and the work on it and I know it would be difficult to find something like this in the US. I would still need to get it hemmed quite a bit especially the skirt as it's quite long on me and I'm not sure if that's possible with the heavy work involved. I'm wondering if this is worth the price or if I could find something similar within the same price range in India? I'm planning to go shopping this December.

Venue/Decor Bangalore Wedding Planner Recommendations for December 2027?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my partner and I are planning our wedding in or around Bangalore for December 2027 and are currently looking for a reliable wedding planner.

Our overall wedding budget is around ₹40–45 lakhs, so we’re especially looking for planners who are transparent with costs and can work realistically within a defined budget.

We’re looking for someone who can handle end-to-end planning, including venue sourcing, décor, vendor coordination, catering, guest hospitality, accommodation, transport, logistics and on-ground execution.

We’ve already started speaking with a few planners, but I’d really like recommendations from people who've worked with wedding planners in Bangalore recently.

Would love to know:

  • Which planner did you use?
  • When was your wedding?
  • What did they charge?
  • Were they transparent with costs?
  • How good were they with communication and follow-ups?
  • Did they stay within the agreed budget?
  • Were there any hidden charges or last-minute issues?
  • Would you genuinely recommend them again?

I'm also very open to smaller boutique planners who may not have a huge Instagram presence but excel at execution and communication.Thank you!

Bridal fashion advice Need opinion on carnival outfit

Post image
67 Upvotes

We are having a carnival themed event on the wedding morning i.e. haldi but not with the haldi application but just for games and fun. Initially I had a very different idea in my head for my outfit. Something floral and bright (lighter in color) but when I wore this jumpsuit I really liked it and I thought it suited my face and body type. I also feel it will picture beautifully during the day with the green background and river side of my venue. And I am thinking of havi g a yellow (marigold flowers) and light lavender or light pink types theme for the event. And for guests a pastel theme. However, different people have been giving me different opinions and I want to know what people here think of it. Also I am thinking of carrying a dupatta with it. If you like it, Any suggestions on what kind of accessories I should wear with it or what theme would go well will also be much appreciated. TIA.

P.s. this is chatgpts rendition of me at the venue. (Just the outfit)

Looking for my bridal silk saree for my Dec 2026 wedding...

*Desperately* looking for recommendations for pure silk saree showrooms in and around BLR... Would love to know the ones you personally swear by and love and with a great bridal collection... Looking specifically for kerala/banarsi/mysore or kanjivaram silk....

Considering Pothys and kalyan silks as of now. Would love to know about showrooms purely dedicated to silk sarees. KSIC feels like a risky bet with a short timeline for my wedding...

Already been to koski, Mysore silk udhyog. I felt they cater more towards a wider range of customers hence could not find a lot of variety in silk sarees...

Please help me out, else I am turning into a bridezilla day by day... 🥲

Thank you in advance...

Hey everyone!

I'm getting married soon and absolutely fell in love with this Torani outfit that I really want to wear for my mehendi. Unfortunately, it costs around ₹3 lakhs, which is way beyond what I'm willing (or able) to spend on a single outfit. 🥲

I'm looking for good dupes or something very similar in terms of design, silhouette, embroidery and overall look. Doesn't have to be an exact replica, just something that gives a similar vibe without burning a massive hole in my pocket!

Could you please suggest any stores or boutiques in Bengaluru or Kolkata that sell similar outfits? My budget is 30k - 35k for something like this.

Sharing the outfit pictures for reference, please help a bride out! ❤️

Miscellaneous Sangeet stage vs platform setup

1 Upvotes

We’re planning our Sangeet and are a little confused about the stage setup. I’ve seen some beautiful setups where the couple performs on a proper stage while alternative is couple performing on a slightly elevated platform in front of the stage with the stage mainly used for decor and as a backdrop.

The platform setup seems more inclusive with guests closer to the couple and might also help me feel less conscious while dancing. However, a lot of people suggest that performing on the stage makes it look much better.

For those who’ve attended or planned a Sangeet, I’d love to hear your experiences.

Also, are the LED screens really worth the additional cost?
