Yesterday: Many subs went private in protest over a pedo admin abusing power to silence criticism. Not a single LGBT sub joined in.

Today: Several LGBT subs went private in order to protect a pedo with strong connections to the pedo admin who was abusing power.

Really not painting a good picture here.

That’s because all the good LGB subs are gone.

Did r/askgaybros go private yesterday in protest of the pedo admin’s abuse of power?

No, the main mod said:

"no, we're not going private. i don't know who started this trend, but it's more important to be able to talk about it. discussion about this topic is very much allowed."

Is it bad if I find this pathetic on the part of the AGB mods?

I think it falls in line with his historically hands-off moderation, and on that basis I consider it reasonable

You're free to think that, but I personally respect his decision and I find wisdom in his words, especially when you have in mind that AGB was the only LGB space that allowed discussing this topic freely.

I personally admire his restraint, as in his place, I would have joined the protest without thinking, not considering that gay bros would be stripped of any space to discuss this.

That’s a a good point. But still, if the sub went private on the day most Reddit subs went private, then it would serve to mitigate backlash against gays.

My favourite sub is TrueCrime and I'm happy how they handled it. They didn't go dark but the stopped comments and left an explanation pinned. This ment that people out of the loop could understand what was going on (and its how I found out about it all)

I like this.

No, but there were posts debating it. The small lesbian sub also issued a statement, but wasn’t added to the list of supporting subs even after the mods and others (including me) asked the list creator multiple times.

We've been fighting for years against accussations that being gay makes you automatically a pedo. Shit, even today I've seen homophobic banners connecting being LGBT with being a pedo. This shit isn't helping. It's basically giving free ammo. I am fucking angry.

there were 5 lgbt subs that went private. bi_irl, gay_irl, [lesbians]gonewild, [lesbians]gonemild, lgbtteensgonemild, here's the link. https://www.reddit.com/user/Blank-Cheque/comments/mc9ave/list_of_protesting_subreddits/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share but yeah the vast majority of lgbt subs stayed quiet and didn't do anything. I just figured I'd speak up because I was actually kinda surprised that I saw those subs on the list of ones that had privated.

I do absolutely not like the implications of this.

Good. Fuck them. Pedophiles are not really flying under radar. Lots of pre-teens and teens have tried to bring awareness to adults grooming or trying to groom them. Why don't people care until something like this happens and makes "the community" look bad?

Because people like to sweep problems under the rug.

These are truly awful people and the rest of us LGB are going to be associated with them in the public's mind.

Unfortunately, the TQ+ seem to be the embodiment of everything the religious right warned people about years ago.

We did try to speak out, but they effectively silenced us. They want to take us down with them.

When r/LGBT claims their mods got doxed,do they actually mean Challenors babyfurry (read pedo) sex partner who also mods r/actualesbians ?

[–]kwallio 12 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 0 fun13 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yes, what they are claiming is that people linking to his twitter where he has his actual name and his actual reddit id on the twitter info is doxxing him and thats just so MEEEN.

Thanks.

They seem to really want to get rid of the guy. The longer he holds on, the worse it'll become PR-wise. But the Narcissism is strong with this one. They'll have to drag him out kicking and screaming. I hope they purge every corrupt mod on these subs, and maybe Reddit will survive.

I'd feel bad for them if they had our backs (now and when we were banned). And didn't actively protect a pedophile.
