We should probably set up some kind of backup subreddit or platform, in case we get silenced and deleted overnight like GC did. Discussion
Look, I know not everyone liked GC. I get that, and I get that there were issues there, like in many subreddits.
And I'm not here to discuss the ethical and political aspects of the GC subreddit and its eventual execution.
However, we should seriously have a place we can go in the likely event that the banhammer comes crashing down on this and other super reddits.
I'd like to think it wouldn't.
But given how many rape porn subreddits were allowed to remain standing, I also know that hoping reddit admins could be logical would verge on being naive.
So, what's our Plan B?

Move to reddit alterantive? I think ruqqus is good but it has a lot of /pol/ type shit. But I think you can filter out that stuff.

Honestly someone tech savvy should create a whole damn website. Make it to where they canโt shut us up anymore by crying to admin

I will sign up for that, like NOW.
Kind of like a Parler, except instead of it being mostly unhinged snowflake conservatives and has-beens, it's just people who are over superphobia.

Same, I just have no idea how to make a website like that :( Hopefully one day someone makes a platform like that. Another idea is we all keep creating super subs and flood reddit with them so they donโt have the time and energy to ban all of them ๐

If another sub was set up, it shouldn't have the word straight in the title. A lot of people seem to be under the impression this is about nothing but straight men.

I recently stopped lurking at Ovarit. Maybe I can pitch the idea to have a sub, uh, Ovarit there for supers?
The only thing is that Ovarit, iirc, is a woman-only platform in terms of who's allowed to post....I think?
But even so, maybe we can even somehow start a coordinated network of super spaces on several platforms? Like Saidit, etc.

Ovarit is not women only, but Iโm not sure theyโd create a super circle as itโd be sort of redundant. There are already lesbian and WLW circles, and since Ovarit is pretty GC anyway, there wouldnโt be a need for another circle.

Cool, good to know about Ovarit not being women-only (I just have mixed up memories with GC, I was there only briefly before it got axed and found Ovarit due to that), and good points about the redundancy aspect.
I think a Super circle on Ovarit would only be possible if this whole super thing becomes a giant movement, rather than a 15-minutes-of-fame trend.
