    admins actually are the one that hold all the power on the site, mods are the plebs that have to play ball. admins are only 2nd in power to spez. they are the ones behind the aggressive somewhat indiscriminate shadowbans and purges. its only a matter of time before they drop the mask and increasing more right leaning content.

      Mods get to control the political narrative of their subreddits by banning those with opposing views. That makes them more powerful than admins. As an example, Reddit has been so flooded with pro-trans mods that it’s almost impossible to make an anti-trans agenda post in most subreddits without being banned.

        except it ultimately falls to the admins which institute all these changes, and filters to the site. mods are just patsies, yea there are problematic mods, and this at the behest of spez too.

        You may or may not be right, but that example is apocalyptically bad (and probably betrays that you’re not worth talking to, if it reflects your “opinion”), because, ya know, most people with even a slither of empathy within them realize that “making an anti-trans agenda post” is just being a despicable piece of shit. Which would make the mods banning that behavior kinda based.
