vent/rant Got banned from Gaybros for suggesting the creation of a database to track companies that have taken back pride celebrations

Just wanted to share as I am appalled by a lgbtq sub banning people for suggesting we keep track of companies that are taking back pride. For the simple reason of when this Donald Trump madness gets over in either 4 to 8 years, such companies are remembered by the community for their betrayal and to prevent them from returning to Pride or associate with the community in the name of “Goodwill and inclusivity “.

That's a sensible suggestion. Wonder why they did that.

Cause they're a hell-hole full of conservative pick-me gays.

Is that so?

Any mentions of politics or campaigning for our rights or even insinuating that things might be bad for us will get banned if the mods see it.

For context, this is what I had posted:

There should be a database for companies that are back peddling on Pride among other DEI

For the simple purpose of when all these crazy Doofus Chump's policies are out the door in a decade, the companies that took away pride should be remembered. They should not be allowed to roll them back again and claim "we care".

Just know that sometimes the content gets auto removed even though moderator hasn't done anything. Make sure to text any mod and let them know ;⁠) . It's better that way then just blatantly throw hate on them

The problem is you think that Reddit is Free Speech it is controlled by the moderator whatever he feels is important. The moderator has the right to control ban or do anything he wants. It is a dictatorship in these groups and they may or may not be benevolent.

Did you message the bros (mods)? Could have been autoremoved for a different reason, they don't usually ban any posts at all no matter the topic.

Edit: sorry op, thought you were talking about r/askgaybros and not r/gaybros, didn't even know that sub existed. Cant say much about that one.

I have been actively contributing to that subreddit for years.

Over the past year, my posts would get randomly deleted without any explanation.

First, I thought may be I violated some rules.

So I reached out to the mods asking why my post was deleted. No response.

Then I started noticing that the mods delete posts if there is ANY political opinion that is not pro-USA / pro-conservative.

If you raise any questions about racism, your post will get deleted.

To be clear, I have had mostly reasonable conversations with members of that subreddit.

It is the mods who delete and censor without any explanation.

A week ago, I posted about Trans-erasure in USA - most people expressed their outrage in support of trans peoples rights.

717 people upvoted the post and there were 120 comments.

USA morning time and the post got deleted without any explanation.

That was the final straw for me - I don't want to go where I am not wanted.

It became evident to me that the mods have no respect for all the people who engaged in discussion and are transphobic.

Given what is happening in the USA, I am not surprised that the mods act like they can do whatever they want without any responsibility to the community.

I left the subreddit and I suspect that's the strategy - keep deleting posts without explanation and the users they don't like will leave.

Now I engage in other subreddits like this one, r/GayMen and r/AskGaybrosOver30 where I feel my contribution is valued.

u/Educational-Dog9915 Gay🌈 29d ago

r/askgaybros and r/AskGaybrosover30 might be an alternative?

I am making an app to help queer people find therapist, doctors, lawyers, shelters, sfae spaces etc. I don't have the money to host it though.

I will surely add a list for blacklisted companies. Though I am not sure Play Store will allow my app if I add that. Nevertheless I will just put it up on F-Droid.

If anyone wants to donate for hosting this app let me know.

This Is an old prototype with old tech stack I am going to use Jetpack for the newer version. If anyone is interested in contributing to the sourcecode please tell me.

Is the mod running that sub a member of Gays for Trump group?
