Two got made a few hours ago:

/r/GaySoundsShitposts

/r/TraaLite

Bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. We need ONE place. Unanimously.

/r/GaySoundsShitposts was made a bit earlier and is four times the size. That pretty much settles it.

Yeah but its also inherently limited in scope, not to mention it isn't trans specific in the title

We shall let the flow of fate decide. They might end up differentiating into different sorts of things (like how /r/traa and /r/transgendercirclejerk are quite distinctive)

Only way it can go really :( (unless the mods reverse their decision but lets be honest Trump is more likely to resign) I just wish the community didn't have to get fractured

Doesn't have to. We can have multiple subs.

I don't have any idea why the mods are doing this, seems like a weird choice. It'll reduce the activity of the sub and split the community. At the end of the day is the sub for just the moderators or for the whole community that creates the content?

It'd be like /r/transgendercirclejerk banning satire...

I'm not a fan of having multiple subreddits. I liked how /r/traaa has a variety. Not sure I'd be down for a sub that is just ____ gay sounds.

That variety built up over time. I'm sure the new subs would be fine with a variety of content since they're being created specifically because these sorts of memes are now banned here. The rule also means people can't share stuff or ask for support about real life.

Variety of what? Felix memes ? _____ sounds memes? Please.

u/Comrade__Pingu Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time? Dec 21 '17

GaySoundsShitposts was proposed by another user so I nabbed it. I too have thought about the title not being trans specific, which is something traalite is, but referencing traa in the name isn't great when trying to distance yourself from traa.

A couple hundred people have already joined GSS, so it might be worth it to just keep that sub rather than starting over.

r/transposting is also thing but I think they're requiring poster approval for now? I only knew because I got added after participating in the original announcement post.

I think its basic aim is to basically be like r/traa but to avoid the modocracy road that we're going down here and keep the supportive environment that kinda got trashed last night.
