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.

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.

Are we forgetting the first post in question was literally a game screenshot?

That doesn’t mean the resulting conversation that was nuked has anything to do with the game.
