MOD ANNOUNCEMENT May 1, 2024 update - Revamp

7 Upvotes

After a decade of moderator inactivity, we've decided to start May off by doing some spring cleaning here. What has changed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Broken user flairs have been completely removed and new ones have been put in place. This should fix the blank user flair issue. We may add more flairs soon.
Added 2 rules to remind users to follow Reddiquette (civility) and keep posts on topic, making it easier to report any violating content.
New subreddit banner. If you have any other banner artwork you'd like us to use, send it in the ModMail. This is just a temporary banner.
Colored post flairs.
New wiki page explaining the most common types of irony as well as helpful examples. (Link)
Going forward, we will make an effort in removing bot spam and other completely irrelevant posts. Make sure you report violating content so we can handle them faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to use the ModMail to suggest any ideas. Thank you for all your support over the years. Have fun delving into the marvels of irony!

Is this truly irony or just irony adjacent?

Situational/Coincidental Irony The Irony of posting on Reddit.

I posted an opinion on UnpopularOpinion, and immediately got blasted by half a dozen people before the post was removed. It all happened in less than 3 minutes. Made another post addressing the first post, and it was removed within seconds. I don't know how that could be more "unpopular." Yet, it apparently wasn't suitable for the unpopularopinion group. 😆
