Thank you for the immense amount of work you have done over the years. It is not diminished by this episode in any way. I hope you can find a new community to enjoy in whatever capacity suits you, here or elsewhere.

MODERATORS
Meanwhile, Cedar is badmouthing you in a stickied post on the subreddit. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
That's not surprising.
It's irrelevant. I ran that subreddit for 11 years. He did nothing of note beyond requesting the sub and appointing mods. I have no cares about what a scab thinks.
Oh they're the same one who got the top mod removed from r/adviceanimals. Literally the type of mod that has the userbase riled up against the mods by their actions. Shame they run so many LGBTQIA+ communities, I wouldn't trust them to maintain a safe space.
I'm really sorry to hear this; thank you for the amazing work you did in such an important community.
I think many of us have been blindsided by Reddit and the fallout from this. Personally, my resolution was to create and foster communities I could more directly control and participate in -- hence, my movement to Lemmy.
I hope you can recreate the community you had over there and that you continue to bring value, joy, and gender (and agender and everything in-between) to all the people that need it.
Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that. Luckily my second in command was on the same page with me when spez decided to fuck us both over. We closed the sub as neither of us will be able to moderate effectively anymore. Our community had a uniform response too: close the sub.
