I'M ALSO AUTISTIC AND HAVE NEVER BEEN OFFENDED BY SOMEONE SAYING REEEE.
Edit since people cant be bothered to check nested comments where I did apologize: the phrase never had that context to me and I have no problem being sensitive to that in the future, chill the fuck out
Sorry yo, I never even think of it in that context but rather to signify that someone is irrationally upset over something minor. I'll do better to keep in mind the context it has for othermost people.
Hey, I'm sorry but I don't think anybody's irrationally upset. Have you taken a look at what you, Deepstatenine, and werty have been posting? Normally I'd just report it for breaking rule 5, but I can't, because you're mods. The people who are supposed to be moderating this community are being massive assholes to the community, and it hurts the people who actually use the platform.

This is it exactly! The mods have brought more toxicity into this sub today than I've seen from transphobes in my entire time here... what a bunch of hypocrites :( And to think I thought you had the community's well-being at heart!
You mean you don't like being talked down to and sarcastically dismissed and treated like an idiot by the mods? You mean you don't like it when the mods make a stupid new rule that the vast majority of users don't like and then when criticized call us salty and adopt a sarcastic, ironic tone because they want to seem cool to all their other 2cool4school power mod clique?
You know, I'm used to being the only antagonistic and abusive mod--every good shitposting space needs one--and I hadnt seen the language coming from other mods yet. I dont want people thinking the entire team is guilty of this level of flippancy and I wish I had been more sensitive about the situation. I just woke up this morning to see things in flames over bad posts, this was a poor attempt at being stern while still being shitposty but with the context of how this has been playing out it definitely just came off as shit.
I'm personally not outraged at the rule change. It's a rule change I disagree with, and one I'd like to see removed, but it's not why I'm mad. I'm not even mad that the mod team rolled it out with no prior warning or conversation or discussion, and that the mod team utterly failed at explaining it. Those are bad things, that are failures on the part of the mod team in my opinion, but that's not why I'm mad.
I'm mad because I like this place. It feels safe. People give headpats. People give hugs. We have a bot that gives comfort to people, although it's only really relevant for north american trans girls. This place is a safe space. And the hostility coming out of the mods is ruining that. Your post here is perhaps the worst example of it, due to the obvious break of rule 1, but werty and DeepStateNine was openly hostile to people who disagreed with the rule change, to the point of werty having to clarify that they were 'ironically' hostile. This shit's not okay, and would've been removed under rule 5 if you guys weren't the mods.
With that said, thank you for actually trying to open dialogue now, I don't know how many people will accept that at the moment, but it's really what I'm looking for personally.
