    I am aware that reddit's moderation decisions can't be taken in good faith, I'm thinking out loud about how silly it is to ban a lefty sub with a high level of discourse for being associated with a quarantined shitpost sub that had a misinformation problem. It reveals that misinformation wasn't their problem, they simply didn't want that kind of lefty discourse, and are looking for any rationale to silence it.

      Ha! The lib dipshits have proven for the 9999999th time they aren't morally consistent, surely their "power" will automatically self destruct now.

      It reveals that misinformation wasn’t their problem, they simply didn’t want that kind of lefty discourse, and are looking for any rationale to silence it.

      It's weird that they even keep up the pretense of impartial moderation. I've never understood the preoccupation that people in power have with doing things "Legally". Like you can't just bring the hammer down, you have to have a process and appeals and all sorts of other pageantry first, then you crush any pretense of dissent. It's like the police writing up endless reams of paperwork to document and justify why they beat the shit out of minority kids, when they could just as easily beat the shit out of minority kids and not document it, saving both labor and paper while achieving the same outcome.

      Reddit doesn't have to pretend, they can just ban leftists because they want to. But they still go through all this bullshit instead of just purging the site.
