Unfortunately and predictably /u/CedarWolf and I could not see eye to eye.
He is laser focused on protecting users. I do not see how this was possible on reddit if we lacked the normal 3rd Party Apps we’ve always used to manage the subreddit.
The subreddit has always been run through a massive set of YAML rules via the AutoModerator. Through these rules I was able to manage the entire subreddit. Alone.
Never did the other two mods really ever engage in any actions or even open dialogue. I had to open the dialogue about the community myself to get a response; and it was typical of your average reddit power moderator. He wanted to bend the knee to reddit. I refused.
Let me be perfectly clear. I accept responsibility for my actions.
However; I did not anticipate the complete lack of support from this top mod for the protest. Going forward I urge users to exercise their best judgement. The /r/genderqueer subreddit that will exist from now on is no longer the same community it was.
I am not going to badmouth CedarWolf. I am only going to present facts. We no longer operate the same community.
Thanks,

Meanwhile, Cedar is badmouthing you in a stickied post on the subreddit. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.
That’s not surprising.
It’s irrelevant. I ran that subreddit for 11 years. He did nothing of note beyond requesting the sub and appointing mods. I have no cares about what a scab thinks.
Oh they’re the same one who got the top mod removed from r/adviceanimals. Literally the type of mod that has the userbase riled up against the mods by their actions. Shame they run so many LGBTQIA+ communities, I wouldn’t trust them to maintain a safe space.
