It's not just you getting removed though. If you don't get removed what they will do is seek to start a new alternative version of the subreddit, and if they have free reign to post this agitation material what they will do is use agitation posts in order to get the community to transfer to that.
In order to stop this you need robust automod rules that cover all the possible things that these agitators usually bring up so that their posts just never see the light of day and thus no revolution and mass-exodus can be generated.
If you want a look at what those kinds of automod rules look like I can share. Been through the rodeo of preventing these things more than once now. If you want physical help that's more complicated because any mod additions will now be scrutinised and assumed to be "tankie coup" plotters or some shit.
Yes, completely necessary. These are colour revolution tactics transcribed and adapted for the digital space. They require being ruthlessly squashed.
Fortunately automoderator is a FANTASTIC tool at doing this. Admins have provided all the tools necessary to prevent this shit but you've got to be willing to really put it to work. Too many mods just think they can sit back and let it fizzle out and that will NOT happen against an ideological enemy hell bent on agitating over and over and over again. It does not work like the typical reddit trends because it is not a natural occurrence, it is manufactured by a motivated opponent.
