Nah. First of all, this subreddit is an international forum that is admittedly dominated by Americans. Every single one of the new posts gets reported for removal by multiple people. Our shitty situation does not need to dominate the front page of the subreddit right now.

Respectfully - the RFK/election doom-and-gloom posts were getting repetitive, sure, but some of the threads that have been removed in the last 24 hours which were actually generating useful conversation should not have been. Members of the subreddit are attempting to support the moderation team by following your directive on the last meta discussion (i.e. report rulebreaking posts) but frankly there's not enough interaction from the mods on a regular day to even justify that.
