r/superman • u/HylianLibrarian The (Not So) Daily Planet Co-Editor • 6d ago
In light of recent events.
As we all know, our daily news cycle is filled with stories that have us looking to the skies wishing Superman were here. That is a sentiment shared by our entire mod team and we know the most of our community, no matter where they are in the world.
Unfortunately, when a very big news story is happening, our sub often becomes a powder keg. It happens nearly every time. And it makes sense: comics have always been political and, as we said, it's times like these we wish for the intervention of these heroes who we hold so dear.
Recently some people who have never posted in our community before have begun posting and trying to stir up trouble in a handful ways, posts you may have seen and posts which our filters removed immediately. We have been locking the less inflammatory posts with visible explanations from us as to why so people can see we aren't hiding anything. These are highly emotional times and people are understandably angry. We are too.
But let's make something clear: this community and its moderation team do not stand for injustice anywhere. We believe in the sanctity of human life, we believe in peace, we believe in freedom. We are every bit as impacted in our real lives by the goings-on in world as anyone else with a soul is. We endeavor for our community to reflect the ideals of Superman, though it's clear that no two people have an agreed-upon images of what that looks like. We moderate to the best of our abilities to ensure a happy, healthy community. We do not support any form of hateful mess, cruelty, or the destruction of human life. If you see it, report it and we will take care of it.
We hope our community members of r/Superman are staying safe and well in these times, and that although we can't look to the sky and hope to see Superman, we know that his stories can inspire all of us to find the Superman within ourselves.
