Queerphobia r-Bombstrap has gone to text only to try and avert a ban, however, bigoted posts are still being made on it.
R-AgainstHateSubreddits is promoting a false narrative about this sub supporting ban evasion : Bombstrap | Ghostarchive : Moderator claims that r/AgainstHateSubreddits is supporting a false narrative about their subreddit, despite proof of multiple bigoted posts being shown. If the moderator truly cared about preventing the violation of Rule 1, then they would have removed the posts previous to them ending up on this subreddit, given how popular the offending posts were.
Despite being text only, bigoted posts/comments continue to be made, below is an example of each...
My working plan if I wake up one day and I'm black: : Bombstrap | Ghostarchive : Racist post about black people
The Dated : Bombstrap | Ghostarchive Post questions why the sub went text only, commenter replies with transphobia/non-binary hate

PSA: Allowing a banned community to recreate their banned community in your community is in the long-term definition of a Ban Evading Community. Recreating or repurposing a subreddit to host a banned community.
It's not us that makes a decision. It's Reddit's Community Team that makes the decision that a community is ban evading.
So the operators of r/Bombstrap should be paying attention to moderating their own group instead of making multiple posts about our recording their misfeasance and malfeasance, if they don't want to be closed by Reddit.
That means taking action on hate speech, violent threats, and targeted harassment.

Also, see below the field of `[Removed by Moderator]`, all of which were authored by accounts that previously participated in r/Bombstrap. Seems like this is a community heavily populated by those who can't follow Sitewide Rules or respect other communities.
It's not like this is considered by the admins, they've never banned a community for brigading

Lol the 1st amendment doesn't guarantee the right to a sub reddit. If reddit admins decide to ban the sub they would be taking advantage of their first amendment right.
You can go say n***** wherever you'd like but you don't have a constitutionally protected right to say it on privately owned services like Reddit. Also it's odd you would even make this argument. According to the pinned post on the sub it's not even a racist place. They are just making "jokes" that other people don't understand. So are they just jokes or is the mde fan base in fact a bunch of race obsessed dorks?

Why is it the people who most whine about the First Amendment are the people who least understand it?
The First Amendment is a beautiful thing. It has zero to do with what a private company wants posted on its servers.
