Reddit's weakest link is the moderators. You pay the moderators off and you subvert the whole site. I imagine that's what the Ukrainian propaganda ministry has managed.

Outside this I find it somewhat bizarre that we've let the unemployed mentally ill decide what is and isn't acceptable for millions to see.

You'll also get a sitewide permanent ban for talking about or mentioning the places where moderators sell their accounts for significant chunks of money. This is automatic and not in response to a report with certain keywords.

It's a problem they really want to pretend doesn't exist.

Do you have a link to that site? I don't think it's banned here.

See: r/startrek

Any criticism of Star Trek: Picard or ST: Discovery (or any CBS property) is deleted instantly.

And redditors still have the gall to describe themselves as anti-corporate leftist freedom fighters.
