1. Please be kind and helpful to one another.
2. No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, spam.
3. Linking to piracy sites is fine, but please keep links directly to pirated content in DMs.
No really I'm telling you, I've seen the modlog, it was reddit admins. Other mods cannot remove me as I was the top mod.
You're not following what I'm getting at. Reddit wants to have plausible deniability so they reach out to mod teams asking them to Judas on their fellow mods. We don't know how many agreed to turn on you -- maybe it was one, maybe it was 51%, maybe it was all of them.
The mods go to Reddit and say "yes we'll work with you to get the subreddit back up. But we don't have access to demod the head mod." Reddit says "say no more, I got u." They demod you, and say "If you have any questions go speak to your fellow mods. WE didn't make the decision, we were asked to demod you by your fellow mods."
Your fellow mods also have the extra perk that they can deny betraying you. "WE didn't demod you, Reddit did! SEE the mod logs!"
Plausible deniability all around.
I mean fair point, I do suspect one mod might jave scabbed but I guess we'll see. With pirates, there's some reputation on the line in our communities. If people see your name backstabbing your peers for corporate overlords, it's not a good look. I do know that the 3 mods I added recently are legit
Lemmy is infinitely better anyways
edit: in terms of censorship
