Reddit pays its moderators with power. Bardfinn, merari01, awkwardtheturtle etc. will comply and re-open because it's all that they have.

Reddit quietly mandates that its users be ideologically programmed as hard leftists to participate fully. General tolerance for that kind of abuse makes it especially worrisome for anyone who will be alive over the next few decades. The political herd has been groomed to demand tyranny- in part by silencing critical thought and dissent.

Let's be honest, the 'power' of a mod is kinda pathetic. Overseeing a few arbitrary rules on a virtual discussion platform where strangers chat or argue. Most likely the lazy and/or unemployable. It's all just a bit of fun, but some take it way too seriously.

Very real lives are being ruined by the trans propaganda, though, and the inability for anybody to talk critically about the risks and downsides.

They literally censor trans people talking about poor surgery outcomes as only pure affirmation is allowed. It's a magical life reset! It'll fix all your problems! The wrong-sex hormones and brutal genital origami couldn't possibly come with risks!

There's a significant possibility than the 'trans kids' trend and 'affirmation-only/trans-the-gay-away' treatment will go down in history as a major medical malpractice scandal. And Reddit seems to be one of the places pushing it the hardest.

Surprising no one.

That power gets them access to kids.

Let's not pretend it's just about the power.

Powermods that control large subs actually do get paid money in order to allow shilling, bots and advertisement. There are many news articles about it and GallowBoob constantly posts pics of himself driving supercars and whatnot.
