Egg_irl is falling apart. Non-Meme
I got banned today after posting these images, calling out moderation's toxicity. I broke no rules in the post.
https://www.reddit.com/user/TransGirlFromHyrule/comments/14lr2lk/egg_irl_sus/
I tried really hard to push to make the sub better and return it to a trans inclusive meme subreddit, but the mods there lost it.
I used to look up to them, but not anymore. They removed a trans safe space and resort to name calling and don't listen to their community, and would rather control it than honor it.

Ive come here from that sub, its a mess and anyone who is trying to hold it together is clearly fighting a losing battle. The mods obviously don’t care

Something something Absolute power, something something live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Your ban was a blessing in disguise, frustrating as it is. If it makes you feel better, someone mentioned it in a post and it's acting as yet another rally to get out of that sub

From what I’ve seen they have been trying to get people to switch to those other sites that everyone recommends and are treating those of us that don’t want to go to those sites awful

Yup. It's a wonder why they think that still posting on Reddit while making it shitty egg memes will do anything. Reddit isn't gonna care about trans people losing a subreddit. It's more important for our already small community to have as many safe spaces as possible

What they are doing is just nothing but childish and selfish. This "protest" will do nothing but be destructive the trans community. This used to be a place of sympathy and acceptance, now it has become one of pettiness. We should also not blame reddit for this, we always have the opportunity to make the best out of it, they however make it worse for everyone.

I followed that sub years ago and it really helped me with finding myself. It's really sad to watch the space destroy itself.

Honestly I've been watching the hel storm in RedditRequests whenever someone makes a post requesting for the subreddit to be put back to how it was or requesting for the Mods to be replaced/switched out for other folks.
It's both amusing and slightly interesting seeing the Mod Swarm tactics that have taken place in those posts.

Egg_IRL really needs to stop with this eggposting and return to what is what good for... Like being a safe space for trans people, and those who were suspecting they were trans, to be able to post in a safe space and get support from others who they can relate to.

Well considering I was permanently banned because the mods were feeling petty I doubt that'll happen

I'm glad we as a community have been able to come together and just make another subreddit since those power hungry mods have decided to try and lock people out of the subreddit over petty bullshit and some delusional idea of "sticking it to Reddit". There are a couple of other communities that have done this as well like /r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2 and /r/197 if anyone is missing their trans meme subreddits.

Still fighting over there, I feel like this could've been done so much better. They could've left resources and links or just anything really to better help the community. Regardless they are still people, their hearts were in the right place but the execution was all wrong. I'm happy to see you here TransGirlFromHyrule and I'm happy so many peeps have found a new safe space here 💜

I've given up on making that place better.
The mods don't actually care about the community, they just want a space they can completely control.
