I said it on the subreddit and I'll say it here. They shouldn't be removed until users get a chance to have their fun with them.
Yeah but sometimes it's just blatant hateful bullshit and should get removed right away.
Yeah that's somewhat more important, but I agree with both of you and I can trust the mods to make the right call.
Sure, if it going poorly to the point our dunks aren't sufficiently chastising them, or it's taking place in a comm that is explicitly supposed to be a safe space then a mod should step in, but the subreddit worked on the explicit premise that the users took out the trash and the mods just swept in afterwards to clear out the detritus left over.
This also helps sift out false positives -- people who aren't trying to be reactionary but are interpreted that way, or who have some unexamined beliefs but quickly come around.

idk this seems normal. volunteer for mod duty or something if you want to do your part
There's also a report button. If you see something that you genuinely think crosses the line, flag it for review.
The #1 thing you can do to help (besides becoming a mod, which you should consider) is report what you see. Reported content gets dealt with very quickly. Unreported content can get missed easily.
