Reddit is removing moderators that protest by taking their communities private

The CEO of Reddit (and even the management team as a whole) can be fairly treated as a monolithic block. They generally speak with one official voice.

There are thousands of reddit moderators, most of whom have never met each other. You cannot possibly generalize across all of them.

I didn't try to generalize. I even said at the end of the post it represented my limited experience.

I'm going to assume you genuinely aren't self-aware, so please don't be offended by this attempt to help.

You lead with this:

> If anyone is thinking they are bigger than they are it's these mods.

This is a textbook generalization, a "blanket statement". The next few sentences attempt to reinforce this generalization. A one-sentence disclaimer at the end doesn't change that.

If you want to talk about your experience with <some members of large group X> then do that. But please don't project that across <all members of large group X>.

Way to say you didn't read my whole comment before posting without saying you didn't read my whole comment before posting.
