Welcome to the Gaybros Facebook Group Compendium!

LAST UPDATED: Late 2016

Please Note:

We realize this hasn't been updated in some time, if you cannot contact one of the listed volunteers or you believe you should be the listed volunteer, please let us know through modmail.

This is an updated collection of all the Gaybro Facebook Groups around the world. As you can see, most are accessed by PMing a fellow bro your email address (usually the one you have registered on Facebook) as most of these groups are private and/or secret. Invites are sent out through email and must be accepted that way as well.

If the group is secret, it will not show up on your wall/timeline/posts or anywhere else, so closeted bros need not worry.


Please let us know if:

  • You create a Gaybro Facebook group for your area (check to see it isn't here first!)
  • I missed any that you know of
  • or if there is another user that is best suited to handle these requests / you no longer want to be the contact for that facebook group.

Thanks!

Hey there - you should post this in the official Sunday Stud thread as well!

TL;DR: Click here for NSFW Sunday Studs / FDF. TinyChat and IRC are also on the sidebar again.


Hey gang,

I've heard from a lot of you over the past week, a few with some really great suggestions and many just lending an opinion (some louder than others).

/u/RainandWind made a suggestion that has gotten a positive response from everyone I've mentioned it to, including the creator of the Fish Day Friday post, /u/resogunner - so we're going to give it a shot and see what people think.

Every Sunday Studs we'll link to a NSFW version for your porn curation desires. It will be hosted over on one of our brother communities that formed directly from Gaybros members (not affiliated with the mod team at all) in the early days of Gaybros. The link will be posted every week on Gaybros.


So, if you're looking to fap check out: NSFW Sunday Studs / FDF


And to get this thread started:

Also, while the post says the tinychat and irc are back on the sidebar, they do not actually appear to be on the sidebar when I load /r/gaybros.

I'm not convinced that will resolve the issue, but it's worth a shot.

Please make sure to check in a month and see how the community feels about whether it met the community's needs or not.

We plan on it - this was just a suggestion to try in the meantime that many people seemed to like.

APPLICATION FIVE



  • Age: 20
  • Location: Eastern Canada
  • Occupation: Student / Engineer
  • How much time do you spend on Reddit per day? 5h+
  • How long have you been on Gaybros? Since Inception
  • What would you add or subtract from the sidebar? ADD: Links either in FAQ or on sidebar to existing city-based Facebook gaybro groups. Subtract: If anything, some of the "Related Links" because I don't think they are used that much, but they don't really affect anything so leaving them there is okay.
  • What do you think would make Gaybros better? As the community develops, people will start taking us more seriously, so maybe we can consider a semi-annual gaybros magazine or newsletter.
  • Have you gone to a meet up? I organize the Gaybros groups in my area, so suffice to say I've been to all of them in my cities.
  • What do you think about the FAQ? As the community grows, I think it should be re-written in more appropriate language. "This guy is hot. Wanna see a pic?" for example, could be re-worded into "Picture Posting Policy".
  • What are your top 10 interests outside of Reddit? My Boyfriend, Watches, Video Games, EMS / First Aid, Eating / Cooking, TV, Camping, Skiing, Coffee, Reddit
  • Favorite athlete? Alex Bilodeau
  • Give us an example of a conflict you had on the internet with another user and how you handled it. Usually a combination of logical persuasion (like in real life) and failing that, a concluding statement pointing the person to other resources. If I'm arguing about something that can be backed up with a scientific study, I'd point them towards a source or suggest that a source be consulted. If it's another kind of issue, I'd just re-state how I felt and leave the conversation like that without sparking more conflict. (Ain't nobody got time for that).
  • What do you think the role of a moderator is? Solve issues that arise between users, monitor postings, enforce rules, and act to make the community a better and warmer environment for everyone.
  • Did you like the finale of LOST? I've never seen Lost.

APPLICATION FOUR



Age: 23

Location: Eastern US

Occupation: I'm the Marketing Assistant at the study abroad office of a local university.

How much time do you spend on Reddit per day? Varies between 45 minutes and 4 hours. I don't comment much, but I check in pretty much every day.

How long have you been on Gaybros? I created my reddit account to join Gaybros, so judging by that info, I've been on here for over a year.

What would you add or subtract from the sidebar? I like that we have a lot of useful information easily accessible right there on the page, but I do sort of feel like it's a bit too long. It needs a bit of trimming, and I would do this by removing the "Related Links" section and condensing the "Official Links" section and putting it in the "About Us" section.

What do you think would make Gaybros better? A greater sense of purpose/community/etc. You guys have come a very long way on that front since I joined, but I'm sure there's more that can be done. Reddit might not be the best platform on which to achieve this, but we can still work with it. Off the top of my head, I'd say changing up the themed days again.

Have you gone to a meet up? I have assisted in the organization of several of the meet ups, although lately another user has taken over that role. I've lost count of how many I've been to at this point.

What do you think about the FAQ? I think it covers a lot of bases that need to be covered, and I like that it directly addresses the criticism of the community with regards to how we handle non-masculine folks. A few areas could be tweaked, but in general it's pretty solid.

What are your top 10 interests outside of Reddit? Let's see....

  • Gaming (currently Pokemon Y & the Mass Effect Series)
  • Baseball (and to a lesser extent Hockey and Soccer)
  • I'm a Coffee and Beer enthusiast
  • TV (Arrow, The Good Wife, Shameless, Game of Thrones, Happy Endings, Breaking Bad, etc)
  • I have an expansive and useless knowledge of maps and flags
  • History
  • Politics
  • Urban Planning/Development
  • The internet (I seriously spend an embarrassing amount of time in front of screens... oops)
  • Fitness (hahahahaha just kidding. but seriously, i'm trying to get into it. that should count for something, right?)

Favorite athlete? Chase Utley. Period.

Give us an example of a conflict you had on the internet with another user and how you handled it I haven't really had a serious conflict on the internet, though I have certainly had my fair share of internet debates. I make sure to be as respectful as possible, because it never pays to be a total douchebag. I have plenty of experience dealing with conflicts in real life, as I made the questionable decision to become an RA in college. The key to these situations is to attempt to be as unbiased as possible while still retaining your core beliefs about the situation. If that's not possible given the nature of the conflict, it's best to defer to someone else if possible.

What do you think the role of a moderator is? Moderators, if I were to guess at a definition, are here to organize and facilitate discussions and topics that pertain to the subreddit while filtering out anything that is either harmful to the group or doesn't quite belong. It is very important that mods not infringe upon others' freedom of expression, but that they also are able to identify posts that clearly violate the set rules of the subreddit and remove them as necessary. I only even entertained the notion of being a mod myself because I saw that post, and I pretty much just decided to take a shot at writing all this.

Did you like the finale of LOST? I didn't follow the show...

APPLICATION THREE



  • Age: 22

  • Location: Eastern US

  • Occupation: Paramedic/Firefighter

  • How much time do you spend on Reddit per day? Oh god, far too long. Probably 3-4 hours, depending on downtime at work, sometimes more.

  • How long have you been on Gaybros? Since November 2012

  • What would you add or subtract from the sidebar? I would remove the bropic, I honestly don't think it serves much of a purpose. Otherwise, if it were to stay, I would advocate moving it further up in the sidebar and changing it more frequently. Tom Daley is hot, but he's been there for awhile. I'd add a larger link to /r/askgaybros too, since some people don't seem to notice that it exists...

  • What do you think would make Gaybros better? An updated FAQ list and slightly more stringent moderation. I don't think it's a huge deal at the present time (I rather enjoy the sub), but as things continue to grow and evolve, it may be prudent to monitor a bit more closely. However, I'm not advocating a police sub or anything.

  • Have you gone to a meet up? Yes, and I've also organized two meetups. I set up two fairly good-sized meetups (about 18 people at the first and 10 at the second) in Detroit over the summer.

  • What do you think about the FAQ? I think that it has a solid baseline, but it needs to have a few additions. I would strongly consider adding in a response to the seemingly ever-present questions regarding straight crushes, and I would possibly consider changing up some of the theme days for a bit more variety.

  • What are your top 10 interests outside of Reddit? Medicine, cooking, travel, hockey, raucous sex, cars, reading, BBQ, driving, and...ummm, yeah. Nine good enough?

  • Favorite athlete? Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings

  • Give us an example of a conflict you had on the internet with another user and how you handled it I own and operate a small website, and previously moderated for a small LGBT forum that is no longer active. Users have issues with site moderators and with each other. I've had users fight with each other in comments sections of my website, as well as having had personal attacks launched against myself. The largest incident that I can remember came about as a public scuffle between two long time members and a small handful of new commenters, and each side accused the other of rather grievous offenses--harassment (including sexual) and all that jazz. My fellow moderators and I corresponded with the owner of the website herself and outlined our plans, seeking her opinion, and she was unhelpful so we took the initiative ourselves. Every member involved was temporarily blocked from posting until we figured out the root cause, and we resolved it accordingly resulting in one permanent ban for a new user and a probationary period of sorts for one of the longer-term members.

  • What do you think the role of a moderator is? I think a moderator is supposed to be a mostly benign person. The ideal mod still contributes to discussions and posts fairly regularly (and takes part in the day to day grind when possible), but generally keeps a neutral opinion on somewhat hot-button issues. In the event that something comes up that must be taken care of, a good mod will deal with the issue promptly and in a concise manner while also maintaining impartiality. A mod should be able to make his or her own decisions the majority of the time but must also be able to maintain a rapport with the other mods, especially for big issues or concerns.

  • Did you like the finale of LOST? lol didn't watch
