He isn't the entire problem, but he's making the choices when it comes to other moderators, especially the ones that seem to revel in antagonizing users and starting shit among the people here.

That's the origin of bad choices that lead to this sort of vibe. With all of the needless immaturity and drama on the Discord, it almost perfectly filtered for the shittiest moderators who enjoyed that sort of thing, while others were bullied off of the team or kicked as the problem moderators sought to cancel them for anything slightly controversial, like they did to @storyofrachel.

Those moderators carried over here and are now going to be grandfathered in for the foreseeable future. Abuse of power is always an issue with free internet moderation, but this is somehow an enhanced version of that.
