Hey y'all ♡
With the release of Joyce's new album, MACHIKO, today, I wanted to take this opportunity to check in, reconnect with the community, and share some updated subreddit rules [see rules tab].
First and foremost, this subreddit exists to celebrate Joyce's music, artistry, and impact as an artist. With MACHIKO finally here, I'd love for this community to be a place where we can share our favorite tracks, discuss the album, appreciate her growth, and connect with others who genuinely enjoy her work.
Over time, however, I've noticed an increase in repetitive posts, content shared without meaningful discussion, and NSFW comments that detract from the purpose of this community. There’s nothing wrong with sharing photos, photoshoots, performances, or behind-the-scenes content - archiving and appreciating Joyce’s work is part of being a fan. However, I’d like this subreddit to be more than just an archive of images, with more meaningful discussions about her music and artistry.
As a woman who created and moderates this community, it's important to me that Joyce is appreciated for the artist she is. There's a difference between appreciating an artist and objectifying her.
Everyone is welcome here, but everyone is expected to respect the purpose of this community. This is about maintaining a space where Joyce is treated with respect and her work receives the appreciation it deserves. These rules aren't meant to discourage people from sharing content or expressing their appreciation for Joyce. They're intended to ensure that this subreddit remains a respectful, engaging community built around her music, creativity, and artistic journey.
With MACHIKO out today, I hope we can give this new chapter the attention it deserves.
Enjoy MACHIKO, and let's keep the focus on Joyce's music and artistry.
