Brandweek kicked off Monday, filled with extraordinary digital experiences that brought the annual event right to marketers’ homes. Diversity, equity and inclusion were recurring themes of Day 1, which proved to be serendipitous considering that Adweek took measures to ensure that attendees themselves represented diverse communities as well. Adweek invited more than 100 agencies, marketing and production firms to attend for free through Brandweek Lift, which aimed to get diverse companies led by people from underrepresented communities into the conversation.

The lineup: We also collected those agencies into a directory so that those seeking more diverse vendors can easily find them.

But Redditors aren’t thrilled with the development, especially because it puts the onus on unpaid moderators to manage the discussion.

Here’s what moderators and users have to say about the development.
