Some thoughts on everything that’s been going on in the other sub

This might be long, I have a lot to say and I don’t even know where to begin lol. At this point I don’t even know what to think about whether or not Ariana’s team has anything to do with all this, but even if there’s truly nothing like that going on, the mods are still at the very least being extremely weird and suspicious for WHATEVER reason, and condescending, egotistical, rude, and just handling all of this so so poorly imo. If they were at least nice and understanding of people’s suspicions, skepticism, and confusion, were more transparent, and didn’t ban people over this sub, I’d be much more inclined to trust them, even if I still disagreed on their handling of things.

There are two more new mods who’s accounts were created just today. One of them being added just in the last hour. And several other new mods who’s accounts are just weird to me. It’s all just confusing and suspicious, again, regardless of whether or not Ariana’s team got involved.

The new rules, in my opinion, are vague and confusing. They say discussing EDs is allowed again, but that “armchair diagnosing” is against the rules, so I guess they still just want to tiptoe around it and pretend it’s merely “speculation” and “alleged” and not call it for what it very obviously is despite clear undeniable evidence.

Bodyshaming is also against the rules, which is understandable to an extent, but we don’t know what constitutes as bodyshaming to them. That very well could mean literally any talk about her body/acknowledging her emaciation and the objective fact that she looks sickly is prohibited for all we know.

They say they’re still going to “heavily monitor and remove content that crosses into harmful territory”, which yes is good in theory, but again we don’t know what their definition of “harmful territory” is and ultimately, I just very much feel like they’re not being transparent and that they’re still going to be heavily censoring when it comes to this topic but just go back to being lowkey and sus about it exactly like before this failed attempt at a rule change, since they refuse to even call it for what it is or allow us to. I feel like nothing has really changed regarding this topic and like they’re still planning on “trying to move away from” aka silence discussion of her ED, just like they told me in a dm a couple weeks ago 🤦🏼‍♀️
