As it turns out, the mods in the Reddit community are supporting bigots by shutting down posts that are trans positive:
A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.
This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.
So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-
It too, was locked.
I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.
Sooooo… welcome new friends!
You're viewing part of a thread.
Shutting down the thread was how they stopped the flood of hate. Bans were likely given out to people acting rudely or were promoting hate or violence.
You know if you are LGBT+ constantly seeing hate directed at other LGBT+ folks is draining?
But the main problem isn't really resolved. The bad actor is still in the community, and so they will still support and promote anti LGBT rhetoric.
Shutting down a thread is bad for good faith participants in a conversation and is good for bad faith trolls that are just there to rile people up.
Besides, you kinda completely avoided my point. How is banning someone confrontation? If anything, shutting down the thread is more confrontation? Because those people are still in the community and can just post somewhere else. Gay people exist and get harassed for existing. What has been accomplished?
It is resolved. The pic started fights and had no relevance to the overall game. After it was pulled OP reposted it which means even though they knew it wasn’t ok for that space, as the mods locked it, they were going to perpetuate the problem so the mods banned one of the people causing problems.
It was a picture of the game.
Edit: resolved in the sense that the bigots got their way, btw. Lol.
What are you, one of those self-hating gays that want other gays to shut up about being gay because it makes you look bad to the straighties?
Which didn’t drive discussions about the game but rather drove fights about stuff that has fuckall to do with NMS.
If I post a pic of Sonic in a Sonic sub but the only discussions are fights about racism in hiring is that really relevant to Sonic?
Fights about gender have nothing to do with No Man’s Sky which as I recall doesn’t have gendered main characters.
I really just don't care because I think I fundamentally disagree.
If the post itself is related, and conversation under the post is related to the post, then it's not off topic.
If you post a pic of Sonic in a Sonic sub but the only discussions are fights about racism, I think that your issue is... that...... people are racist... whoa. So ban the racist people instead of shutting down the thread?
Like what are you saying, dawg?
The conversation has nothing to do with the game the subreddit is about then it is off topic.
The pic was intended to cause problems and OP doubled down on that fact when they reposted. OP intended to cause problems and was banned for it.
How was the post intended to cause problems?

Found the post. Huh. Seems like literally every opinion you have about this is just kinda wrong and stupid in context, huh?
You’re posting this AFTER all the offensive content was removed. How do you not get that?
Do you know what an automoderator is?
Edit: btw what were you saying about the OP trying to start problems? Let's go back to that. I don't like how you keep making false, blanket statements and then ignoring when they are directly challenged and refuted. It's almost like you have a cognitive dissonance.
