An Explaination

I've had quite a few of you reach out asking for an explaination as to what's happening with the sub. I'm not really sure how to explain it in a way that sounds good, but I'll try.

I am just one person.

For the past year, it has just been me moderating this subreddit. Not for lack of wanting help, but because I don't trust anyone else to be able to keep it to my standards. I wanted this to be as safe and secure of a community as I could physically manage.

But it still fell short.

I rarely, if ever, received complaints about moderation, but that never stopped the feelings of inadequacy. I had a tendency to stop moderating for days or even months at a time for my own health and to live my life outside of this sub.

I love and care for everyone here, but it was becoming an unsafe space because of my own shortcomings.

I know how much of a relief it can be to share images and experiences with others, just to feel seen, and it genuinely hurts knowing that I'm taking that away from quite literally thousands of people. But I can no longer in good faith keep running this sub.

I hope this is a somewhat reasonable explaination, and I'm sorry for the lack of warning beforehand. And to clear up a question I've gotten a few times: Reddit is not shutting us down, I am. This is fully my doing and again, I'm sorry.

I hope you all stay safe out there.

I love you all 🖤💚
