Hey Helldivers!

This sub has been honored to see many a web comic inspired by Helldivers populating our space, and with the recent post by "Xan" u/EitherCaregiver697, we will be adding a new post flair. "War Stories (Web-Comic/Graphic Novel)" will be added to the sub, and we hope to see more users feel encouraged to post their stories and artwork here. For single image pieces, the "Fan-Art" post flair will remain.

As our community expands its growth. and as we continue to see more creativity and human art propagate here, we want to encourage and support the people making this sub so special.

Thank you to everyone who is so inspiring to share the art and the work they have spent time on, to depict and flesh out the world of Helldivers. Keep it up!

Five thousand of you. Five thousand. When I started this sub I genuinely thought it would fizzle out in the first week and here we are. I do not have the words for how much this community means to me so instead we are going to do what Helldivers do best.

We are dropping.

Two Weeks of Community Game Nights!

Starting this week we are organizing two weeks of community game nights, parties, and dives to celebrate hitting this milestone together. Over the course of the next two weeks you will have the chance to squad up with fellow members of r/WholesomeHelldivers and just have a genuinely good time. Some of you will even get the chance to drop alongside myself, u/Hiroki_Sadoki888, and u/SEAF_Chan directly. Keep an eye on posts throughout the two weeks for details on when and how to join up.

What Are We Doing Out There?

We are pushing the Major Order because democracy does not take days off. But we are also running some fun gimmick dives along the way because sometimes you just need to embrace the chaos. Think full flame loadouts, spears and shields only, whatever ridiculous builds make you laugh. No sweat, no stress, just good people having a good time spreading managed democracy across the galaxy.

Join the Discord!

A huge shoutout to u/Affectionate-Memory4 who has been running our community Discord server and will also be organizing groups throughout these two weeks. If you want to coordinate dives, find squads, and stay up to date on everything happening jump in here:

Thank You! <3

5,000 members is not a number. It is 5,000 real people who chose to be here. Who chose kindness, good faith, and genuine love for this game over everything else the internet could have offered them. That means everything.

Now let us get out there and make Super Earth proud.

For Super Earth! For Liberty!

Mod Team, r/WholesomeHelldivers

Hey Helldivers,

The sub has grown to over 4,300 members and we are incredibly proud of what this community has become. With that growth comes responsibility, and it is time to expand the Mod Team.

We are opening up two Moderator positions and we want the community to be part of filling them. You will have exactly seven days from the date of this post to apply, so do not sleep on it.

What the Role Involves:

As a Moderator you will be responsible for monitoring posts and comments for rule violations, removing content that breaks sub rules, addressing reports in a timely manner, and keeping an eye on mod mail. You are not here to dictate the tone of the community or protect any individual, developer, or entity from valid criticism. You are here to serve the people of this sub, full stop.

Requirements:

You must be 18 years of age or older. This is a firm requirement and non negotiable. All applicants must send me a direct message privately disclosing their date of birth to confirm they meet this requirement before their application will be considered. This information will be kept strictly confidential and used for verification purposes only.

You must be at least Level 50 in Helldivers 2. Include a screenshot of your in game level directly in your application post. Applications without this screenshot will not be considered.

You must have genuine availability. We are specifically looking for people who can be active and present on a consistent daily basis. Please include your general availability and time zone in your application. This is important to us as we need coverage across different hours of the day. Currently, anyone in a Eurpean Time Zone will hold a slight preference due to the difference in time from the current NA Mod members.

You must be comfortable being criticized. Thin skin and big egos are what brought down other communities in this space. Members of this community are allowed to critique moderators when it is warranted and our mods need to be okay with that.

You must have read the subreddit rules in full before applying. This is not optional.

How to Apply:

Make a post introducing yourself as a candidate. Title it exactly as follows: "My name is (your name, username, or gamertag), and I am applying to be your Moderator." In the post tell us who you are, what your personality is like, why you love the game, your general availability and time zone, and why you believe you are ready to serve this community, as well as what brought you here in the first place. Include a screenshot of your in game level, and feel free to share gameplay screenshots, highlights, fan art, or anything else that gives us a better picture of who you are as a player and a person. The more you show us the better.

Once your post is live send me a direct message with your date of birth to complete your application. (Of comfortable, and image of an ID only showcasing your DOB, no other information is necessary.)

Community members are encouraged to weigh in. If you have any objections or concerns about a candidate contact us through mod mail at any time. After seven days the Mod Team will review all applications and community input and select our two new Moderators.

Moderator Code of Conduct:

All Moderators of this sub are held to the following standards at all times.

Mods may not remove posts or comments solely because they contain criticism of the game, the developers, or the moderation team. Mods may not engage in or encourage toxicity toward any member. Mods may not use their position to push personal agendas or biases. Mods are subject to the same rules as every other member of this community.

Violation of any of these standards is grounds for immediate removal.

A Few Final Notes:

Moderators are subject to removal at any time if they are found to be violating sub rules, engaging in toxic behavior, or abusing their position in any way. While removal may happen without prior notice in severe cases, we are committed to being transparent with the community about moderation decisions whenever possible. No additional mod slots will open beyond these two until a genuine need arises.

This community was built on the idea that the people running it should serve the people in it. If that sounds like you, we want you on the team.

For Super Earth! Apply today!

Hey Helldivers,

Going to keep this one short and sweet.

Today is my birthday, and honestly I could not think of a better way to spend it than reflecting on what we have all built here together. When I started r/WholesomeHelldivers in March, I genuinely was not sure it would amount to anything. I just knew I missed what this community used to feel like and wanted to try and bring that back somewhere.

4,300 of you later and I am still kind of in disbelief.

This place means a lot to me. Not because of the numbers, but because of the people. The way you show up for each other, the memes, the clips, the conversations, the moments that remind all of us why we fell in love with this game in the first place. That is what makes this worth it.

So thank you. Genuinely. This community is one of the better things going on in my life right now and I do not take that lightly.

Now somebody go drop on a bug planet in my honor.

For Super Earth! For Democracy!

That is all.

Edit: You guys convinced me, I am goingnto check out the Glen apartment and see what's up. I'll update with my feedback.
