Because it's my fiefdom and I'll never give it up!

Because in life, not all people are going to agree with you on different topics. You don't give up and walk away when something doesn't work out, you learn and improve.

It's not about a difference of opinion, it's about neglecting and then misusing the moderator tools. But it's all good man, enjoy ruling over the ghost town.

I don't see a whole lot of learning or improving here yet.

Walking away is also a valid option, especially if the community has made it clear they have no confidence in your moderation.

Better to die the hero than mod long enough to become the villain, but I suppose we're past that point.

The first step is to find additional moderators. Then we will work together to come up with the best approach to have a better sub.

Sometimes things take time. Rushing can cause problems.

You rushed to ban a broad, locally relevant topic, and then rushed to actively suppress feedback and conversation on the topic.

Your judgement regarding your previous actions and the path going forward is deeply skewed.

I'd suggest permanently closing this community, or handing the keys entirely over to someone with stronger communication, judgement and organizational skills.

"Can" is not necessary, as we've seen your rush to judgment against bike posts is what caused this whole kerfuffle in the first place.

It's that you're either unwilling or unable to admit that you fucked up and apologize to the community that's got everyone pissed off. Instead we get non-responses like "thank you for your feedback".
