Yeah, I think turning reddit into an absolute free-for-all of astroturfing, spam, and brigading would really improve discourse.

Sorry, but the mods are dictators-for-life there and there is no appeal. If you ask Reddit for help when the mods violate the moderator code of conduct, they will just say that they are just tracking reports and to use some other community instead which isn't helpful if the mods control a large one in the millions.

I don't think the sky is falling, I do think the mods should be accountable for their actions controlling content based on their personal feelings. Non-accountability is why I am fine with Reddit losing section 230. My opinion can be changed if Reddit Inc. puts in rules and procedures and allows a process where you can actually interact over a problem.

I do not think the solution to dealing with an idiot mod should be to delete the account and make another one.
