I modded r/socialism for a time and there are a couple of team members there that are pure garbage while others are good. I suspect this is either over-egregious moderation failing to see that parts of DSA are good while national is bad, or it's the problem mods.
If you want to reach out to one of them privately but don't know who to trust I suggest u/raicopk and speaking politely and assuming good faith (because they'll be guarded and assuming the worst as most reddit mods are)
Ill try reaching out and seeing if theres any chance of things changing but this sub has been very sectarian for so long that i doubt theres much interest for reducing the burdensome levels of moderation. idk how to explain to mods that this sort of thing is ultimately damaging to the socialist movement and just impends political organization by censoring communication on the left.
