Update:🚨Addressing the current restrictions on r/MichaelJackson & Reddit's unfair treatment, racism & bias🚨
We are are calling out Reddit Admin, asking they address the unfair bias, prejudice, and racism to Michael Jackson and our community who supports him.
We ask Reddit Admin provide a legitimate reason as to why the mods of r/MichaelJackson were removed, leaving the sub inactive. This happened with no warning, after r/MJInnocent was removed.
We continue to ask Reddit Admin to reinstate r/MJInnocent and provide a legitimate reason this was removed.

We ask Reddit Admin to reinstate Reddit Accounts of our community that were unfairly banned, and provide a legitimate reason for the bans. They are supposed to give a warning first, then a 3 day, then a 7 day ban, then a perm ban. This is not happening.
We ask Reddit Admin to respond to the multiple feedback forms submitted, emails, and mod messages from our community.
Thanks to everyone that has signed and shared our petition. Please keep sharing on all platforms.

Update 28th January 2025:
We want to thank everyone who has shared and signed our petition.
We have had no response from Reddit admins regarding:
-Our request for reinstatement of r/MJInnocent sub.
-Reinstatement of existing mods from r/MichaelJackson which has left the main sub about Michael Jackson on reddit unmoderated and inactive. This sub has approximately 56.9k members, and many sister subs (many of these are also now unmoderated).
-Reinstatement of community members accounts that were removed unfairly without warnings or any response (instead more accounts have since been removed 🥲 ).
-No response to multiple feedback forms submitted, emails, and mod messages from our community about the above requests.
This all indicates that reddit admins have a clear bias against Michael Jackson and our supporting community, which is unfair and disappointing.
Reddit have now opened up expressions of interest for new mods for r/MichaelJackson. We are hoping for a good outcome here, e.g. have a space where our community can interact, support and celebrate the King of Pop.
Thanks again Moonwalkers, may the force be with us all✌️🌻
