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!

    I would love to see things get more active over here. It’s a pretty good community on Reddit, but the mods are way too heavy handed.

    If you watch “new” when a big update drops, you’ll see almost every post about it get removed. Only the special chosen post gets to stay up, and it’s never the first one. I can’t help wondering if it’s a karma grab.

    NMSCoordinatesExchange has some annoying rules, too. If you post a gallery of finds it can get removed for not being split into multiple posts. If I post a gallery, it’s because I don’t have the time or inclination to spam the sub with dozens of related items. Would they rather nobody sees them at all? Seems like a poorly considered rule for a place that’s supposed to encourage sharing of content.
