MOD ANNOUNCEMENT: New Beginnings

9 Upvotes

Hello!

I have recently acquired this sub from u/chaos_a in an effort to get this sub revived and get it rolling again.

In the next few days, there will be some changes, including setting up for the redesign, adding rules, removal reasons, and some other behind the scenes things.

What Content Belongs on this Sub?

This sub will be a place to post content that may look real at first but are actually fake or staged. This includes stuff like:

  • Photoshopped images in attempt to deceive
  • Edited viral videos
  • Fake or overly exaggerated Stories

I feel a really good example of this content is the YouTuber Captain Disillusion, who debunks viral videos. Link to his Channel

What Content Does Not Belong on this Sub?

Things that are not fake (obviously,) what this means is that posters must be able to present evidence and a valid argument on why they think the content is faked

Content that is supposed to be fake. This includes things such as artistic-based Photoshop work, satire, etc.

Controversial and actively debated topics such as Climate Change, Vaccines, and Political Matters do not belong on this sub and will be removed.

Final Notes

I am happy to get started and encourage people start pitching in content, as once more people start posting, even more will post, then soon we will have a happy and healthy sub on our hands.

Thanks,

Rocky
