Subreddit Updates

While I have your ear, I want to answer a question or two. The subreddit shutdown implemented around New Year’s was a temporary measure implemented in an attempt to improve the mod team’s ability to moderate during a time both active mods were so stressed that they felt physically ill. (Acissye was dealing with serious allergies and I actually fell ill in addition.) It will not happen again. We understand it was not the best decision and apologize for it.

During the shutdown, all members on the approved users list were removed, which is why even users who were told by moderators in the past that they were approved were unable to post. We will be far more selective in approving users in the future, if we do not cease to approve users altogether.

Barring a few possible concessions to the vocal minority and the fact we will less leniently judge what qualifies as glorification or romanticization of specific regimes in the future, we do not intend to make any more major changes to how the subreddit functions for the time being. The situation is calming down and we have never wanted to rock the boat.

The two moderators we took on in late 2025 were removed in what was originally intended to be a temporary disciplinary action taken after they, unprompted, created a post calling for my resignation with little substantial evidence against me and approved a series of previously removed posts containing unfounded rumors and other sensationalized content they were not aware was mostly misinformation. They were stripped of their permissions so that no moderator would take further reckless action and to give the mod team time to properly discuss the issues. The newer moderators refused to communicate anything at all in the time after this removal despite attempts on our side, and so the temporary measure has unfortunately passed into permanence.

If you are just interested in updates about the functioning of the subreddit, do not want to hear about subreddit drama, and/or do not want to scan through another seventeen pages of text, over a hundred screenshots, and much other miscellaneous information, you may stop reading here.

As much identifying information as possible has been omitted from all following sections and from all evidence in order to protect everyone referenced from further harassment, except in cases in which I have been given permission to display such information from those who would be identified by it in order to defend myself. I do have a folder of versions of the evidence linked in this post from which I have not removed information that identifies specific accusers of mine and former and present members of the Discord server of those who have brigaded this subreddit, but will not share it unless members of that server accuse me of falsifying said evidence in response to this post. As per my explicit warning, I have used screenshots of direct messages and the like I did not promise I would not share as evidence for my case.

The following sections make mention of the political positions of myself and of others, Nazism, NSFW, death threats, attempted suicide, pedophilia, and other subjects that may cause discomfort to the sensitive reader. You have been warned.

Because my response exceeds Reddit’s character limit by over 10,000 characters even when formatting is excluded from the count, all further sections can be found in the following document: Explanations, Part 2.
