They shut down sandersforpresident in 2016 after hillary got the nomination, immediately destroying the community for hundreds of thousands of people in the hopes of party unity or some shit.
It is worth understanding the difference IMO. Site mods will be shit because corporate pressure from above. Sub mods will be shit because of internet napoleon complexes and / or being bought off on the back end by some grimy PR guy.
like 250,000 when it went offline I think? antiwork is at 1.5M now, so i doubt they would ever shut it down now, but mods can 1000% ruin it like what happens w most large subs eventually
It was the mods who "chose" to shut it down IIRC and I think some of them were against the move but it never blew up into a huge controversy. I would put money down on that mod team getting some of the clinton / mook dark money to shut down. Either that or they got threatened with an Epsteining.
There was a sub called Jailbait that had explicit photos of underage girls that at one point was the 2nd largest sub on reddit, that didn't get banned until CNN did an expose on it.
whats the largest reddit sub that's ever been shut down by the admins?

looks like the sub’s mods shut it down temporarily, not reddit admins. the sub is still active.
yes it was temporary and they brought it back for 2020 but it was unforgivable that they shut it down at all imo,
also i dont know that it's worth making a distinction between subreddit mods and reddit mods.

this assumes they play by the rules.
