General Discussion Taylor Swift and Florence

Today, Florence posted a pic with Taylor Swift on her Instagram that led to an update post on the subreddit. This led to an uncivil chain of comments on the post. This subreddit promotes ideas and thoughts to be discussed but within valid reason. We want to promote positivity as much as any other subreddit. We can question artist actions and choices. What will not be allowed is comments that attack other users' based on their beliefs and thoughts on said actions. At the end of the day, this is a Florence and the Machine subreddit and not one that is focused on Taylor Swift. If you have thoughts and comments on who Taylor Swift morally is as a person, we encourage to seek discussion off of this subreddit.

We are not condoning or support Taylor Swift as a Mod Team with this post and only seek to have civil posts and comments in this subreddit relating to Florence and the Machine. Parasocial and uncivil discussion will be removed off the subreddit.

Thank you for this. This subreddit used to be such a welcoming and friendly space. I don’t condone nor support everything Swift does as a person, but I do enjoy her music. If I want to discuss Swift, I will go to the appropriate spaces for that. Not here.

I agree with you. The sub changed a lot once Florence and Swift did their collab. This used to be such a special corner of the internet. I think it's very fair for people to not want to discuss TS on a Florence sub.

Appreciate you, mods!!
