Reddit is removing moderators that protest by taking their communities private

This sort of sentiment usually comes from someone that can't help but argue about politics in an area for, say, houseplants. Sorry, but I don't want to discuss Grundrisse in a hobby subreddit. I don't want nazis yelling at me about jewish conspiracies in an analogue synth subreddit.

"Waaah I can't say edgy things everywhere I want" is such a weak complaint against community-led moderation.

Ahh yes. The classic anyone who sees any issue with the current state of things must be in line with Nazi conspiracy theorists. Such depth.

Did you notice that I criticised communists that inject politics into everything too? I suppose you do not know what Grundrisse is?

What I meant by "in line with" is an association with an extreme political ideology. I understand the confusion. Again, partially my fault But the point was a person who has a complaint on the current status quo shouldn't associate them with someone trying to say or stand for something extreme.
