> WSB moderators were (and still are) actively suppressing posts that don’t toe the line.

We remove far more pro-"meme stock" content than anti-"meme stock". Your anecdote is just that, a single data point. All you need to do is pull the data yourself and you would see that, but instead you are taking personal offence to your content being removed.

At this point, almost all content that is removed, is done automatically, either using Reddit's crowd control algorithm, or using our (countless) content flags.

We also revised posting requirements countless times. You may very well have been cleared to post yesterday, but not today.

If you are willing to post your username, I can look into it for you.

How do you keep a day job and also moderate?
Prior to January it was quite easy. It just takes an hour or two each day to improve the bots and handle the manual stuff.

The past two weeks were very difficult but the entire moderator team has stepped up to the challenge, in particular u/zjz.

Unfortunately, the stress of moderation continues even away from reddit. Even during social events at work, WSB comes up frequently. Personally, I took a few days off.
