Tried to submit this post but it gets filtered by the automod so posting here for now.
Posting this from an alt because I'm still locked out of my account.
About an hour ago, we went ahead with the changes on r/MildlyInteresting following overwhelming support from our community. The idea was to go public again, but designate the subreddit as NSFW with a bigger focus on suggestive looking fruits and whatnot.
I was preparing the sub to go live, but just after I switched it to NSFW, I was logged out of my account on every single platform and locked out. I can successfully reset my password, but it will nevertheless not let me login.
Following this, another mod posted our update instead. Right after, the u/ModCodeofConduct account removed the post and flipped the sub back to restricted instead of public. Then, the second moderator was also logged out of their account and locked out. Other mods tried to re-approve the post, one of them was promptly logged out and locked out as well.
A few minutes after, the entire team was removed from the subreddit without any prior communication of any kind. As it stands, at least three of us are literally locked out of our Reddit accounts and the other mods were only removed from the sub.
I honestly don't even have words for this situation right now. No communication, no attempt to seriously answer any of our questions we asked in ModMail, but still going in and removing our posts, literally locking us out of our accounts, removing the entire moderation team, and entirely ignoring the 40,000 people who voted to either take the sub back private, or open it with new rules.
The only thing I can say is that I'm incredibly disappointed and disheartened that the Reddit Admins believe this is the correct way to act.

All I've seen from you here is constantly struggling to start up right wing communities. Probably would be best if you didn't help anyone else migrated here
This place is about free speech and options. I get it...u don't like his politics, but we were all sharing this place and all are welcome.
Honestly, it's not the politics as much as misinformation and dog whistles that I don't like.
You can't have a discussion around those because none of it is ever introduced or supported in good faith.
Good point. Why have a place for all points of view. Much better to have an echo chamber
Man it must be jarring leaving reddit and not having an army of bots/trolls re-enforcing your cognitive bias.
Excellent point. Let's make lemmy a one voice, one opinion paradise. Just like any tolatarian govenment that we all love. And remember that anyone who disagrees with us is bad. Interesting how some so much fear open discussion with those who hold opinions different than there's. Not surprising why people on the left despise debates of the issues.
Is that why you're aggressively removing comments that don't conform to your opinions? Everyone see's through conservative's fake "debate us" talking point. Ya'll run the hell away from every single argument that you can't strawman or whatabout.
Have fun getting your reality check. Outside Reddit/Twitter the majority of people don't agree with you.
I agree most social platforms are leftist hive mind wastelands. What is funny is how 99% isn't enough for the leftist. They must eliminate all debate. But if I couldn't defend my position in a debate I guess I would just call the other guy names. So much better to live in the hive and never have to think for yourself
So go back to reddit than lol. Your community you moderate is 50% removed comments. You're a hypocrite and you're wrong. If you were really open to debate you wouldn't be desperately trying to insulate yourself from other peoples arguments.
Cognitive dissonance is a hellova drug. Thanks for being bleating proof that reddit's right wing spaces were nothing but a house of cards for mean kids like you who only pretend to play nice with others.
Did you bother to read the rules of the group?
Do you bother to read anything outside your safe space?? Or peer reviewed? Either way you called the majority of americans white morons so you're in violation of your own rules dingis.
LOL 99% of the media has a leftist slant which is why you are firmly in the hive of misinformation. And peer reviewed means that they agree with you
lol that is most certainly not what peer reviewed means. But sure... call everyone and everything you disagree with a hive mind while simultaneously removing more comments in one week than lemmy has in its entire existence. What a hypocrite and bad example of conservative values you are.
You just are never going to get it. I listen to all sides. I do my own research and form my own opinion. When was the last time you read something factual that goes against what you believe, did your own research and changed your opinion? I have done it many times.
There you are again.. running away because you don't have an argument to stand on. If this was your community you'd 100% have removed my comment by now. The only reason you continue this façade of engagement is because your persecution-fetish tickles your cognitive bias.
You don't even know what peer reviewed means so whatever you think you get is most likely debunked by the people you've already blanket disregarded as being part of the hive mind.
I hope you get it. Cuz millions of americans are suffering because of the flaccid policies of the leaders you advocate for.
