Did you tag every subscriber or something? Wtf? How did you accomplish this?
I’m not a subscriber, but I probably have commented in the community before. This feels gross and spammy.
It's really no different from the reddit automod sending notifications as a DM, it's just more visible when done wholesale via comment tagging instead of sending a DM to every individual
You are extremely, distressingly incorrect on this point. This was a colossal mistake and needs to be acknowledged as such.
If you find it genuinely distressing, I'm open to hear your opinions and view point. From my own perspective, I don't see how a single notification that let's you know that a community you've interacted this year is migrating is problematic.
But again, I'm open to hear the reasons why I'm wrong and causing emotional trauma, as my intention was only help blaze with his community migration.
They blocked me and the community apparently, so not sure they'll come back to you.
By the way, thank you for the help, sorry for the backlash, that is unexpected
We live and we learn 🙂
People are different and have different views on what's acceptable and not. Maybe the (smaller) football crowd are more interested in making sure they stay up to date with the correct community.
It could also be that most people that were pinged weren't subscribers, but one-time visitors from c/all. The influx of Nicole spam could also have put people more on the edge, who knows.
I think a more specific community like that is much less likely to have people comment without being a subscriber.
Seems likely yeah. I'm sure there were some false positives though, but it didn't receive any negative comments and only a single downvote. Different demographics for sure,
Indeed 🙂
Genuinely curious: would it have been okay if it would have been a DM?
I would have felt a little better if it were a dm that didn't include a bunch of other random users without any clear inclusion criteria.
I wasn't bothered really. Just confused. An individual DM without essentially what amounts to a large cc list would be nice but I understand that may not be feasible/possible currently.
We might consider this in the future, there's a thread on [email protected] about this
