r/LGBdroptheT was banned on reddit in another ban wave. The ban notice states "This community was banned for violating Reddit’s rule against promoting hate." It was literally a place showing the hate coming from trans extremists towards cis people via screenshots of their prejudice comments...

They had a stickied noticed about their saidit backup being "under construction" I'm extremely displeased to see that despite all the warning signs clear as day they have yet to open their sub to posts. This is just shitty. r/lgbdropthet had probably the most based LGB users out there, while many saw themselves as oppressed, others said there wasn't much work to be done. Their mods were specific about not wanting to ban wrongthing, but now leave a message saying "we plan on this being a safespace so we will drop out of r/all and not abide by the pyramid of debate" All around shit performance moving communities and helping build this place up. Saidit has been around 2 years grasping at straws to stay active, this is saidit's shot, and the banned communities with saidit backups just aren't doing their part. r/againsthatesubreddit's skin is about as thick as one ply tissue paper found in public bathrooms, and if lucky they'll get around to banning the good political subs, and reddit will go the way of tumblr, while our friends at r/gendercritical get all the porn subs banned (a huge percentage of reddit traffic) and anyone seeking authentic conversation will have to look elsewhere. But like I said earlier, this is a team effort of unlikely allies, everyone needs to do their part, and r/lgbdropthet has been a disgrace thus far.

... JEEZE DUDE... When I posted this, it had only been 5 hours since their main sub on Reddit had been banned.

As of writing this it's been only 20 hours since the sub was banned (Less than a day). It has also taken me 11 hours to come back and see this and respond to your message. I do not want to imagine the length of time it takes to build a sub (with rules, mod bots, a theme design, etc), if say, they had just come back 12 hours ago (last night) and seen that the sub was banned.

The sub over here is one they were preparing for if/when the banned happened, which it only just did. I'm sure the mods have lives man. I don't expect them to just throw an entire sub up in less than a day after their official ban.

They had only just started preparing it for the then-hypothetical scenario when the first ban wave happened which was like only a week ago at most. I'm sure they have also been busy managing the original during that time.

The sub r/lgbdropthet has been alive long enough, the signs were there since september 20th when reddit took a stand on hate speech. They were certainly there when reddit banned GC.
