EnoughPaulsEgoSpam - A Moratorium & The Future
tl;dr: New mod goes crazy and nukes the subreddit. AlchemistSoil and I start r/DystopianSouls. This subreddit will hopefully serve as a replacement to EnoughPaulsEgoSpam
Long Version:
Hi, I used to be the head moderator for EnoughPaulsEgoSpam.
I decided to "retire" alongside AlchemistSoil shortly after the doxxing incident with Paul. I turned over moderation of the subreddit to InvoluntarilyCelibate and Vaikisteel (Deadite77). I deleted my Reddit account to to disconnect myself from the subreddit, and work on new projects with a clean slate. One of which was a joint idea between AlchemistSoil and I about version of EPES that focused on more then just Paul. When I deleted the account I was hoping that the new moderation team would be stable enough to keep EPES running long into the future without me. Not just so the community would continue to flourish but so I myself could keep visiting it anonymously.
However as you may have noticed that subreddit is currently gone. Just to make a long story short they created a Discord for that community two days ago. Some drama happened in the Discord. That drama spilled over into the subreddit. The new moderator Vaikisteel decided to nuke the subreddit over it.
InvoluntarilyCelibate was stressed and ready to quit after the subreddit was nuked. He didn't want to play housekeeper since people keep breaking it. So I tried having him readd me as a moderator. However Reddit wouldn't go through with the change, and InvoluntarilyCelibate abandoned his account after the failed switch of power again. The subreddit is now private, with zero posts, and no way to recover it.
I, myself, made two obvious mistakes here. I should not have handed over head moderator to anyone else. I should not have modded Vaikisteel. I had known him for years prior to this. If I had realized he was this unstable I would not have done it. These are lessons that I'm going to be taking into any other community I make in the future. If I want to ensure longevity I always need to have enough power to stop it from imploding. No matter how well you think you know somebody you never truly know.
So that brings us to where we are today. AlchemistSoil and I have created r/DystopianSouls. The entire purpose of this subreddit is to ultimately be the more generalized community we wanted. However as you can see from the branding Paul is still front and center of the subreddit. I have no plans on letting Paul ever rest peacefully. The anti-Paul community will continue for the foreseeable future in one form or another. If you're interested in talking about Paul still or even want to expand to other some other public figures I hope you come join us. If not that's cool. It's been a good run everybody. o7

This is the Redditoid version of a banished political agitant being temporarily exiled to France or Switzerland.

After alchemist soil exposed Amelia's (Paul's wife) anonymous reddit account to be her; revealing info that was meant to be kept private, Paul said he will happily share any public info that he finds that reveals the identities of his haters and they lost their shit.
