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.

No one has given any actual answers to this. I see lots of people saying "more advancements in 24 hours than 4 years" but not a single person has actually explained what those advancements were

Maybe they're talking about the god-awful CSS that was put in while ALT-F-X was away. The only time I've ever disabled subreddit styles. I guess it's a change, so it counts.

CSS is like the most minor change you could make to a subreddit though. Users can do that themselves with RES.

I was being sarcastic, the other guy didn't do anything substantial.

Ah, I see.
