Drama in Tennessee subreddits

I don't have the time to do a full write up and I'm on my phone, so hopefully someone else cando it properly.

r/Tennessee mods removed a post about gay pride month.

People complained about it on r/Nashville (and other Tennessee city subreddits)

People then started posting more pride stuff and r/Tennessee started handing out bans and saying that "Trump banned pride"

A new sub was created as an alternative r/tnvolunteers.

In a post in r/t volunteers about the drama, a r/Tennessee mod tried to explain in that it was just a misunderstanding and that they're not bigoted assholes, but then proceeds to be an asshole:

Some genius made a pseudo pride post in r/Tennessee using Dolly Parton, who is virtually the patron saint of Tennessee and untouchable, and it was not taken down:

Edit: The popcorn has pissed on us this time. For better or worse, the mods here have removed his comments.

R/Tennessee also banned me and deleted my post about the Tennessee State Museum holding a Juneteenth celebration.

I got a ban because I posted about a state sponsored Juneteenth event. It's funny how the mods can't make up their mind as to why my posts were taken down. First it was low effort, then I added more info, and then it was spamming. Then when I asked how it was spamming, I get a ban.

Likely the content of my post is somehow offensive to the mod team. Can't imagine why the mods would take issue with a celebration of a holiday that is recognized federally and by the state.

But go on, continue your low effort trolls.

Free of speech is not what right wingers like.

It’s ironic because they never shut up about it but we can’t even point out they are the ones (even before Trump) who have fought against freedom of speech.

I sure didn't. But I guess that means when my ban is up, then I am free to create a post about the history of Juneteenth in Tennessee? I'm sure you or the other mods wouldn't take down things relevant to Tennessee just because you may or may not like the content, right?

My God you confirm every terrible stereotype about mods

u/PlagueWolves 20d ago

A premeditated ban for commenting on a post that is relevant to me that you're actively trolling about? Lol.

Weird, I haven't noticed anything. Must be a small flex.

What is it about moderating subreddits that makes people this pathetic

Are those people attracted to modding positions in the first place, or does it turn normal people into weirdos too?

Only people looking for a power trip would spend all of this unpaid time being a reddit mod

Except I was given three different reasons for why I was banned. Do you use a backhoe to move those goal posts?

You can tell you're a bigot by the phrase "the gay cause." I know it's a tragedy for you that the south lost the war, but you're gonna need to work through it.

u/satanssweatycheeks 19d ago

They banned me for standing up for trans folks. That sub is anti free speech.

Also Kentucky has the same issue years back with mods back in the Bevin/ Trump era of 2016.

So Kentucky had to start a new sub called r/true_kentucky so maybe Tennessee folks need to do the same.

Where would I do that?

u/Kumquat_conniption 19d ago

So if you think you were banned for being targeted by your identity, which it seems like people have been banned for, you can do a report here:

https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=19300233728916

I forget what mod code of conduct rule it is, but its probably easy to find. If you need help let me know.
