It's very deliberate, and it's not just Reddit. Becoming a moderator or administrator is a way to gain power over people's speech. Remember my story about the formerly gay male group I used to belong to and how trans people maneuvered themselves into moderator positions until they made up a critical majority? As soon as they were all in position, they issued an ultimatum that anyone who complained that the group should still be for gay men only would be BANNED, and they carried through with their threat for a few men. And anyone posting events for gay males only would also be banned. They destroyed a community that had been around for almost 40 years.

The whole T mindset seems incredibly focused on controlling and policing other people's behavior, far more than anything the LGB ever tried to do.
