Unfortunately and predictably /u/CedarWolf and I could not see eye to eye.
He is laser focused on protecting users. I do not see how this was possible on reddit if we lacked the normal 3rd Party Apps we’ve always used to manage the subreddit.
The subreddit has always been run through a massive set of YAML rules via the AutoModerator. Through these rules I was able to manage the entire subreddit. Alone.
Never did the other two mods really ever engage in any actions or even open dialogue. I had to open the dialogue about the community myself to get a response; and it was typical of your average reddit power moderator. He wanted to bend the knee to reddit. I refused.
Let me be perfectly clear. I accept responsibility for my actions.
However; I did not anticipate the complete lack of support from this top mod for the protest. Going forward I urge users to exercise their best judgement. The /r/genderqueer subreddit that will exist from now on is no longer the same community it was.
I am not going to badmouth CedarWolf. I am only going to present facts. We no longer operate the same community.
Thanks,

Ugh, I’m sorry to hear that. Luckily my second in command was on the same page with me when spez decided to fuck us both over. We closed the sub as neither of us will be able to moderate effectively anymore. Our community had a uniform response too: close the sub.
Meanwhile, Cedar is badmouthing you in a stickied post on the subreddit. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.
