Reddit’s top user says he’s ‘done’ after being outed

I left Reddit over a year ago when I was banned unnecessarily from several subreddits that I had never previously known about. Supposedly that was because of my throwaway comment about a photograph in one particular subreddit. When I complained about that, my complaint was censored.

I walked out the door immediately. And that was after I had been 10 years as a Redditor.

This should be a full time job at Reddit moderating the most popular subs. I think they should just quit this thankless job. Once the most popular subreddit’s are filled with hate content, the Reddit team will understand importance of these moderator jobs. Facebook is known to hire a bunch of moderators to keep its site clean and I think Reddit should too

most of the "power mods" are likely semi-bots reposting from other subredddits anyway. i won't be surprised if they're internally created.
