I'm not a fan.

Seems 90% of this sub is "look what the trans have posted it makes me mad!" and telling people they can't post on that day is just going to make the sub inactive for that day. Also, non-trans related but still "LGB" focused posts on here tend to be the same few topics over and over again, and tend to somehow incorporate trans-blaming even in a mild way. Unless posts were also allowed to be off topic, ie, not sexuality focused. Because otherwise we have little to nothing to work with, there's really not much to talk about, especially stuff that isn't negative. I mostly lurk anyway but I can think of a whole 0 "positive" topics relating to my sexuality or the sexuality of others... because it's just a mundane factor at best.

I also generally don't feel like scheduled enforced topics have ever worked out on any sub, Saidit or Reddit, that i've been on, and they generally tend to be the most unpopular threads out of them all. But that's just my opinion.

Damn. I mean, I could think of a bunch, myself, but I thought people were just not interested in non-TQ topics.

Ah, I see your point and you've changed my mind on it too. I think a thread would be OK but a blocking it for a day might be concerning/cause people to be upset, since this is the it place for them to turn to, in order to avoid TQ+ in other parts of the internet or even from real life...I know there's the GC sub but there are quite a bit of us that are not politically aligned with that...

Originally, I thought of Detox from T because I was tired/bored of seeing this:

Seems 90% of this sub is "look what the trans have posted it makes me mad!"

I made a comment here with further thoughts here.

In regards to this:

I'm thinking of posts similar to something like this:

Idk, just thinking of a variety by putting in questions about...life and whatever, memes, articles, music, media, etc so it's not boring. But I see your point that it can become mundane. At one point, I did run out of ideas for s/bisexuals and went AFK for a while when it came to posting topics. Planning on going back there hopefully soon. Curious on what topics people are interested in seeing though. I don't want to post too many memes, for example, if people prefer articles or vice-versa. Nor spam it with DroptheT stuff if they are already subscribed here.
