MODERATORS
Are you actively ignoring the similarities between these instances or do you genuinely not understand that they’re both examples of strange and excessive moderation?
To me this seems like an auto mod fuck up that is quite reasonable and an embarrassing delay of manual review coupled with a classic dogpile.
"manual review" ...
...rriiiiigghht...
There is zero benefit to banning celebrities and taking the fallout. Why would they? If they are profit driven they wouldn't. Even if they were cartoonishly evil they only hurt themselves.
...you're almost there, keep thinking just a little longer...
Maybe the mods try to sabotage the reddit stock by creating drama and a general mess. But that's paranoid reasoning.
If it gets manually reviewed it’ll only be because this dogpile happened. Lots of people get banned like this with no recourse because they aren’t Paul McCartney
