OK, go ahead and remove them. I would just wager that this is an unwarranted intervention. Almost 100% of the topics about Brazil in Saidit are negative, and my intention was to make a counterpoint to that.

Believe me, it's kind of hard doing that, for the Internet is filled with bad news about Brazil, most of them totally politically motivated. In those rare instances when something positive about Brazil is published, it always has a "but".

So my moderation in both the aforementioned subs is based on curating the topics I post, requiring a full and thorough reading of them, for I learned that even the silliest article on Brazil can come with some criticism of the country itself or of its the current administration.

Basically, the mentioned subs were some of the only places in the Internet where anyone could see a series of topics on Brazil that are positive. The rest, the 99.9999999999999999999999999% other Internet sites, mostly cover Brazil with a highly negative bias.

So, if you want to forcefully hide such speck in the sand subs from the world, and in the process making Saidit less unique, please go ahead. Thanks.

I can totally respect that man, and I'm sorry that I have to force a change like this. SaidIt is just positioned to be a "debate first" site.

I thought of a third option, we could rename your subs to brazil_positive and bolsonaro_positive (or similar), and then it's blatantly obvious to everyone that on topic means positive praise only. Then they could stay on /s/all.

Thanks for the prompt answer. Please rename them as suggested. Thank you very much.

    Probably where that video of the Brazilian guys doing some soccer moves with all those uninstalled heads would be posted.

      Hey AXXA. Pepper seeds are sprouting. The summer fog has been lingering til noonish or so. (why we don't have excessively hot weather) And the mask cult seems to be faltering around here, although that doesn't mean I'll ever go back to their stores again.

      Saidit didn't go down last week, so maybe the pattern is broken.

        I've seen (counted) up to 98% of all people outside in any situation wearing the mask. It's been a bizarre year here. Last month was the first time in a year any building could be entered without a mask. Of course, now they're talking about demanding masks again, so we'll see.
