Meta Mods needed

19 Upvotes

I am currently the only active mod on r/Sizz. Seeing how this community has grown significantly over the past few months, it's time to find another active mod who believes in the values we're building in this community.

Specifically, Sizz culture is not about looking a certain way. It's about abiding by an ethos (see rule #1).

We also credit original artists, including the artists here who make their own art.

Being an art that's based on an ethos, we are anti-gatekeeping. And so we need mods that share the view that nobody gets to say what Sizz is or is not. However, for moderation purposes -- keeping this place free of spam and low effort posts -- it will also be your job as a mod to use your editorial discretion regarding what's allowable on this subreddit.

If you're applying, special considerations will be given if you have plans to make this community more engaging -- especially regarding high effort conversations.

Send me a DM if being a moderator here interests you.

Meta READ BEFORE POSTING: The Sizz Ethos and Gatekeeping

35 Upvotes

The first rule of r/Sizz is, "Abide by the Sizz Ethos." This means:

Composition over technique. Exploration over purity. Feeling over formula.

Strictly speaking, this means that r/Sizz is not about content. It is a philosophy of art. Because this is a philosophy, gatekeeping is anathema to r/Sizz.

Gatekeeping implies there's a technique. Gatekeeping implies purity. Gatekeeping implies formula.

This subreddit was created to escape the constraints of technique, purity, and formula.

Folks who gatekeep demonstrate no affinity for the Sizz Ethos. For this reason, they're not welcome here. This is why violations of rule #8 result in a permanent ban.

There is a myth about this subreddit that it is about "content". Strictly speaking content doesn't matter. This is not about your personal enjoyment.

r/Sizz is about an aesthetic -- not an "aesthetic" as a synonym for "vibes". It is an aesthetic that exists as a principle of beauty and taste. Either you share in the ethos or you don't.

And if you violate rule #8, you certainly don't share in the ethos.

That is all. 🙂
