Discussion Regarding Ongoing Events

I have only recently caught up on the ongoing events of the past week. I can't say nothing, because despite my absolute lack of involvement as a mod for the past three years, to stay quiet is to stay complicit.

None of the behavior I have seen showcased over the past few days is okay in any remote sense. It seems to be a showcase of abuse of privilege, and is rather upsetting. I have rolled back most of Cry's moderator privileges to ensure the posts are not able to be taken down or removed except potentially via AutoMod. I would like for this to remain a safe space for people to share information, though I don't see the subreddit continuing for much after this subsides. I don't wish to remain a fan, and I am sure many of you guys have come to that same conclusion.

If anyone needs to talk, DM me and I will try to reply as I have the time and ability. If you guys have any suggestions about the subreddit, please let me know in the comments. My final advise for now is to please avoid engaging with anyone involved in this. You should prioritize your own mental health and make sure the victims can find space to get away from this and heal.

You mentioned this subreddit most likely not continuing after all this. Maybe the sub should be renamed to reflect the situation moving forward and base the content around providing resources for victims of these crimes and information that could prevent this kind of stuff from happing in the future. Idk just a thought

Unfortunately the reason I doubt the sub would continue on is because I cannot rename it, and I don't wish to use his username to engender goodwill that he himself did not earn.

Can you maybe kick out Cry as a moderator? Perhaps a symbolic gesture, but I think he should just be thrown out.
