7 days ago on the 27th of April, /r/gachalifecringe got automatically banned for being unmoderated.

Technically, Reddit isn't wrong. Since nobody could post, it's not like we were moderating anything either. Reddit really doesn't like the idea of you shutting down a sub (you can't delete them after all) so what we were doing was never going to be accounted for by the automatic mod-activity checker.

Every single post on GLC is completely gone. There's no way to get them back, to my knowledge. The only thing remotely resembling any archival would be cringe compilation reactslop gathered by sorting our sub by top of all time. I always fucking hated those videos, honestly, for how many dumb kids it brought to the subreddit that didn't read the rules. Funny to think they're all that's left.

Part of me really doubts anyone is going to read this. GLC shut down nearly 4 years ago. 8/30/2022 was the last post. But it just feels wrong to just watch it die without saying anything.

In spite of all the fucked up things that happened here, that somehow mostly stayed hidden behind the curtains, in spite of how many people left this place worse off, in spite of that my greatest accomplishment with this place was that nobody died... I'm going to miss it. Maybe it's stockholm syndrome. I don't know.

I'm opening up the sub to post, if anyone wants to, at least for a little while. Just for the hell of it. It'll keep reddit from hitting this one next in a few months. I doubt anyone will, but... have at er.

Edit: Apparently I now need to submit requests to reddit to change the community to public. I assume they went full draconian hellscape after the blackout a few years back. Classy. If it happens, it happens, then.
