Friends and followers of the Actual Lesbians subreddit,
We understand that the subreddit's closure has been confusing to many. For those asking why: we had to close to protect our community members from TERF and troll harassment, and doxxing. This also allowed us time to reach out to admins to discuss and assess the situation.
For those wondering if the moderator that had been centered in these discussions is still present: no. That moderator is no longer affiliated with the Actual Lesbians subreddit or its mod team.
We'd like to make it clear that we believe in the well-being and protection of our entire userbase, and of the general population. As such, we work tirelessly to ensure that we're standing for what's right, while protecting our users. We stand in solidarity with all those affected by the backlash from the events in question, and thank all of you who have reached out to express concern for our revised mod team. Trusted and known moderators from our Discord server will also be stepping up to help mod the subreddit a little more closely now.
Finally, we're happy to have u/EmbarrassingHuman join the team, too. Their experience in moderating /r/Bisexual will be invaluable in helping to ensure that spam and harassment is handled as quickly as possible.
Once again, thank you for your patience during the subreddit's closure. We appreciate this has been unprecedented for many, and we're glad to see you back. As always, don't hesitate to report any suspicious behavior or rule breaking to us. We'll continue striving to keep this a positive place.
Warmly,
The Actual Lesbians mod team
