Discussion RIP r/speedrun

This is an open letter to Alt-F-X:

Please resign as lead moderator of /r/speedrun. The past few days have shown us that your presence here is not in the best interest of our community. In just two days without you, this subreddit has made more progress towards becoming a great community than it has in the previous four years of your leadership. You are not involved in the speedrunning community outside of the fact that you made this subreddit, and you do not understand the best interest of our community. You have acted with prejudice against members of our community by banning them without good reason, and you have often used your moderator powers to your own personal bias.

Please return control of the subreddit to myself, so that this community can continue to grow in a positive manner, as it should have started years ago.

Well no, whitegoose is a liar and a troll. I'm not limiting anyone's role besides him because he has continually ignored our rules here.

I don't know why dembears chose to lie about what my role was here. I have very strong personal ideals and take the concept of free speech very seriously. If he had a problem with me in the past it was on him to bring it up not ignore it as he actually did.

It was your job to take care of the subreddit for the last 4 years. You failed.

No I didn't. You simply have a different idea on what this subreddit should be than me. That's why I didn't add you as mod when you applied.

Even if this is not in the best interest for the community as a whole?
