Moderators can run their subreddits however they see fit. They're the ones who create the rules and they're the ones that enforce the rules, as long as they don't break the rules of reddit itself. Admins, on the other hand, should not favor one subreddit over the other.

Why do you make that distinction? AFAIK reddit is not a free speech platform.

Because mods aren't paid and are generally put in power by their specific community to uphold the communally agreed upon standards and rules.

Admins are paid employees of a company (reddit) that provides a platform for communities and discussion. If the platform itself is biased, then it is not really a platform but rather a specific media / viewpoint forum.

The distinction matters.
