r/WatchPeopleDie got banned from Reddit in March 2019 and moved here. I have always been a lurker of their sub, so I did not make an account at the time, just browsed.

I modded r/LGBDropTheT on Reddit with a few others, and we started getting concerned about a ban also. We discussed a few sites to be a backup, but ultimately decided on SaidIt because of WPD. We trusted the WPD mods and figured if they found SaidIt welcoming, we would too. We eventually got banned from Reddit in July 2020 and completed our move then.

Now the only time I'm on Reddit is to help people find their favorites subs which got banned and remade here too :)

Same story here.

WatchPeopleDie was replaced by MakeMyCoffin. Then Reddit banned it weeks after I got banned.

Also, thanks for bringing LGBDropTheT over here. We needed a backup. Wished that RightWingLGBT would come over here as well, even though they are not right wing they were still fun to talk to.

I want to add that s/WatchPeopleDie hasn’t seen a lot of activity recently. Are there any alternatives?

s/RightWingLGBT does exist, but it is pretty dead.

WPD also had a Telegram channel as another backup, and moved to their own offsite this summer. The offsite was taken over by the devs/admins, who then kicked the mod team off.

I'm not sure if the head mods plan to try to re-engage s/WatchPeopleDie here or are looking for other alternatives. Maybe u/tejmar or u/IAmMrPositive can weigh in?

That’s sad to hear. RIP.

I wished there was something like what WPD and liveleak used to be.

I haven't spoken to iammrpositive about what to do now, but there's no reason a bigger push to get the saidit sub active again couldn't be made. We can even use https://pomf.lain.la to post the content and link it here.
