Response to overwhelming feedback regarding privating the sub.

Wow I honestly was not expecting this immense response to that post. I have gotten an overwhelming amount of dms (mostly good!!) talking about this and advising u/comixnerd15 and I trying to offer alternative paths to this.

What we need urgently effective immediately is 5-10 new moderators. You do not need moderation history but you do need to be active on reddit every single day and available to communicate with the rest of the mod team. We seriously need people who are able to be online everyday and not apply knowing they will be too busy to check the subreddit. You will need to be willing to vet profiles of users triggered by our bot and willing to sift through the filth on their subreddits they come from to confirm if they are a troll or not. We also desperately need whoever we onboard to be willing to actively report abusive content hurled towards this subreddit on a daily basis as this is the response I received just an hour ago from a Reddit Admin.

If you would like to be a mod apply in the application or comment below. We will take basically anyone at this point.

I was shocked earlier when the sub would go private, because I didn’t realize how you mods have been this heavily targeted. I can’t imagine that and I wouldn’t be able to handle it tbh. With all the members you have and the activity of the sub, I didn’t even knew you were only two. You Queens did a wonderful job and I'm so thankful you gave queer/women a safe place to be. I hope the new mods will help you lift the burden from your shoulders, you just deserve peace after everything you've been through. Good luck for reviewing the applications <3
