I understand that you felt betrayed by reddit. I understand that you feel the need to use what power you have to salt the earth behind you.
But what you have done is wrong.
There was a support community that was a rare safe haven for people that needed that support. In a world full of right-wing nonsense and misandry on an absolutely gigantic scale, there was a safe group that allowed for freedom of expression without a need for tearing others down.
You were a large part of that, yes - but by destroying it in your wake you have undone all that work and then some. Not even allowing for a record of previous posts is… reprehensible.
**There were plenty of posts full of people asking to take over as the main mod of that subreddit. ** Instead of listening to them, you have tried to “take a stand” by destroying a community in a way that the reddit admins could not possibly care less about. You have destroyed a group of 15,000 people in a move driven by impotent spite.
You are also overwhelmingly arrogant to believe that not only have you “called” the replacement to reddit correctly (there are plenty of other competing sites, including reddit itself), but that you will be able to create a community even 1% as large here.
**REOPEN R/LEFTWINGMALEADVOCATES - AND APPOINT ANOTHER HEAD MOD. Then leave if you wish. You have ignored every poll, every post, every request for other opinions. And instead you have thrown a temper tantrum in a forum that was genuinely helpful for those who needed it.
