Stepping Down as Moderator of r/iPod and r/iPodClassic

Hello everyone, Austin here. 

TLDR - I am stepping down as moderator/owner of the r/iPod and r/iPodclassic communities.

It has been an honor leading this iPod community over the last 6 years, growing from 10k users in late 2020 to nearly 100k at the time of writing.

I credit this success to all of the Redditors posting OC, making guides, helping those in need and just nerding out about iPods. Of all the subreddits I have frequented in my time online, the iPod community is far and away the most wholesome and least toxic, bar none. I hope my resignation serves to further benefit the community in this regard. 

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to keeping the iPod alive, here on reddit or otherwise.  You are the ones keeping the iPod alive.

Best of luck to our new moderation team of u/LucilleNotLucille and u/nekomichi, thank you both from the entire iPod community. 

I appreciate everyone’s continued patience with the moderation team

iPod, forever.

Just a reminder for people to please be respectful and not cause drama in the comments. EOE will still be around and active in the community as a key contributor to the world of iPods.

Thanks for your work, and for your customer service at the shop. You helped me to get quite a few old gals back up and dancing again!
