For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

Sounds like something you could easily orchestrate with enough people. Monitor the sub you're interested in, use some burner accounts to fish for inactivity from the mods. Spin up accounts that create posts which break the rules and upvote those posts. Once there are enough posts in the sub, use a primary account to report all the posts to the admins and ping the admin team about the lack of moderation.
It has happened many times. I believe there are even bots for taking subreddits this way, as they rapidly move to remove other mods and add their "friends" (bots/alt accounts) as mods. Not even just political subs, but hobby subs, which is what I use Reddit for.
