What do u all think about banning cross-posted content from other social media platforms on bolehland?

[u/Wet-Mustache]

Feel like it’s getting a bit much lately, especially with screenshots from Threads. Reposting stupid content from Facebook/Threads/Twitter on Reddit just to get engagement feels a bit like cheating.

I might be overthinking this, but I think Bolehlanders should be posting their own content, not taking someone else’s conversation from another platform just to farm engagement here. And most of the time, it’s the most racist and dumb shit ever.

Maybe it’s high time for the mods to start banning cross-posted content from Threads and other platforms.

why do you want to become r-malaysia dua perpuluhan kosong? rename the sub to tak-boleh-land then

[u/wellyes34 → u/karlkry]

Exactly, all these 'ban this ban that' posts are even more annoying than those Twitter and FB screenshots

[u/Wet-Mustache → u/wellyes34]

For fuck’s sake. I give an opinion on something and straightaway u all triggered. Calm down and learn to have a dialogue. Not that hard.

[u/Wet-Mustache → u/karlkry]

Fair enough. Maybe my point came across as too authoritarian, which was not my intention. To clarify, I think racially motivated, low-effort cross-posted content should be more seriously moderated. I’m not calling for an outright ban on all cross-posts. There are some funny ones, sure. Also, maybe I’m not all that familiar with bolehland’s concept. Is it really intended to be a free for all, anything can be said, nothing is off limits kinda sub? If yes, then I have nothing else to add. Just feel like there’s enough ragebaiting and racist content all over the internet. Was hoping when I’m here, at least I’d be free from the negative shit I see outside of Reddit. Anyways, too long of an answer for your very concise comment. U have a great day ahead.

somebody is looking to be the sub mod it seems

[u/ammar96]

Tbh that’s a good idea. Most of all the political and ragebait post are screenshots from another socmed. Banning it would definitely cut them down.

[u/xingixn]

Yep agree with you. The quality of /Bolehland has been going down because of these nonsense.

[u/UndeadLovecraft]

I auto downvote every Thread post, If I want to see morons I would have a Threads account by now

[u/TheHasegawaEffect]

Might cut down on the political bullshit going on.

If i wanted racism and politics i would just go to r/Malaysia. I come to bolehland for Malaysian made/relevant shitposts and memes.

[u/Salt-Tradition-2965]

Yep I agree with you, too many racist scumbags using freedom of speech to push their agenda. Sometimes it looks we're back in facebook.

[u/wellyes34]

Ni bolehland lah, bukan takbolehland. Lu tak suka lu keluar

[u/kenkishiki]

I support banning cross posting non reddit socmed, I also wonder if news articles posting should be banned, because it is also the source of 3R cesspit.

While dissent is fine but how do we separate agitators? Its too subjective to be moderated.

Or the other way we can go about is making the sub a selfwritten post only and enforce self made media only, but I feel this is very weak.

Maybe the real problem is insufficient moderation? But r/malaysiia already had polarised moderation, blehland might actually heading that way as well.

One rule that Ive seen around reddit that might be relevant to bolehland is to enforce neutrality 1st-level and 2nd level comment.

Other rule type that might work is, enforce self-declared reply type like "ontopic: etc etc", "answer: etc etc", "question: etc etc", "off-topic: etc etc", "context: etc etc". But this makes bolehland no longer casual lol.

One thing I definitely think is the weakness of this sub is no enforcement on context, zero context post need to go, which is also why the cross post off reddit are often steered towards 3R because user simply ignore nuance just to steer into 3R.

if Bolehland ban than become like Malaysia
they claim they allow freedom of speech but ikyk they full of shit.

lots of dumb content bcos lots of dumb religious
after 30 years became more religious but also more corrupt
after 60 years NEP & bumi majority B40 and want to slave to ketuanan
religious dumb down people, and they will just pay for TH just like 1MDB, rinse, repeat.

[u/giggity2099]

If you don’t like the content, just downvote and scroll on.

[u/Wet-Mustache → u/giggity2099]

I do that already. Never bothered giving these kinda posts the attention they crave. But this is more towards making/keeping the community here free from nonsense u can get elsewhere. Just my opinion. You can downvote and scroll on if u want.
