Hope you don't mind if I ask some newbie questions because I barely ever saw r/lgbdropthet before it was banned, although I am pretty active here:

  • Are these all the posts for the old subreddit's entire history?

  • Who runs this site?

  • Which (banned) subreddits are covered on this site? I see droptheT and also itsafetish, but are there other similar ones?

Thanks for sharing, I started reading a couple threads. Really wish I had been around to see the sub when it was up, but-- its banning on Reddit is part of why I joined this community, lol.

You wanna really go down memory lane?

This is some evidence of our first brigade: https://www.itsafetish.org/archives/lgbdropthet/?page=102. It doesn't catch everything, u/NutterButterFlutter was acting fast deleting and banning people, but you can see a very peculiar shift in tone and posting frequency starting on July 5th.

r/traa users started it, and were patting each others asses and gloating about it endlessly. Then it spread to numerous other subs (notably r/LGBT, r/trans, and r/ainbow, but a few others did pick up on it a bit too). As shitty as it was for me and WV and Rez for 3 solid days, that brigade was actually the reason that r/traa put in their rule about not sharing content from "bigoted subs" and began temp-banning their users. So at least something good came out of it.
