Honestly I have the feeling there are so many untold stories about subreddit moderators… It’s really opaque. If you get banned etc nobody can really see it because it’s hidden, so you never have any possibility to see if a ban is justified or not, it’s like a secret court.

I wish the moderation history, like bans, comment removals etc were public. It would be hilarious.

And reddit admins explicitly tell moderators they cannot allow criticism of other subreddit moderators, which reinforce this bubble problem. If you get banned in one sub, you LITERALLY cannot talk about it on reddit, it’s really insane, it’s really shady, that stuff only happens in dictatorships.
