As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive: (lemmy.world)

A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.

This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.

So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-

It too, was locked.

I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.

Sooooo… welcome new friends!

Yes, if you sign up to be a mod, you are signing up to moderate. That includes dealing with whatever hate falls into your community.

The fuck is wrong with you? Oh, the poor little moderators have to do what the name of their positions fucking implies they should be doing? How dare we feel entitled to demand those who volunteered to do a job actually do their job?!

If you're too much of a coward to acknowledge or deal with hate or drama when it shows up, then you shouldn't be a fucking mod.

Just keep in mind that "dealing" can also mean "nuke everything off topic".

Im surprised that people don’t get this. If the post has nothing to do with the game and it is a source of problems then shut it down.

What’s wrong with me? You’re the one deciding that someone else should moderate and confront hate on a subreddit because you feel entitled to their efforts.

Having consideration for others is the baseline of being a decent person. Why is this a problem for you?

Golly gee, how awful of me to expect someone who volunteered for a position of authority to actually do something their position requires.

This isn't random bystanders catching flack, these are people who SIGNED UP TO DO A JOB. If I volunteered to help at a soup kitchen and then just never showed up, the soup kitchen has a right to be upset with me. They are, in fact, entitled to be upset with me because I made a promise to help. And then I broke that promise.

They did do what their position required they shut down a thread that was filled with hate that had no bearing on the game.

You think they should just have to accept dealing with hate non-stop because you have zero empathy for these people as you have made clear in your posts.

You seem to think subreddits shouldn’t be focused on the subject of the subreddit which is really weird.
