View submission: [Developing] Former /r/conspiracy mod /u/Flytape is added as a mod to /r/xkcd. Need I say more?

Not only are moderators eliminating dissenting comments, they've actually set up a bot to autodelete comments and threads that mention keywords related to the drama:

• /r/xkcdcomic (the refugee sub, can't have our ~~hostage audience~~ subs jumping ship!)
• Wyboth
• Conspiracy
• MensRights
• Racism
• Holocaust
• RedPill

Essentially, bringing up *anything* related to the drama will mean you're likely to trigger a ban. Which as led to some interesting workarounds[1].
