Nope. The No Man’s Sky mod was removed because they permanently shut down the entire subreddit with no intention of reopening it, which I literally mentioned as one of the reasons admins may step in.
That’s not what appears to be happening here. The subreddit has indicated it intends to reopen soon and should that happen it’s unlikely admins do anything

r/minnesota had a very problematic mod removed by the admins for a much less serious reason. Basically he was mostly inactive (he doesn't even live in Minnesota anymore) but had parked the head mod spot years ago. Then came Covid and he turned into an anti-vax weirdo and started banning people for asking about where to get the vaccine or defending it in comments against his bullshit. So a breakaway sub r/stateofMN was created and the other regional Minnesota local subs "recognized" it and linked it as the Minnesota sub on sidebars, etc. So he wrote a script that autobanned anyone who posted there falsely claiming it was a brigading sub.
Well the admins removed him, the new mods banned him and relations are now good with other Minnesota subs again.

You are just making things up. Congrats on your deep understanding on what Reddit staff will do.
This is not true:
The No Man’s Sky mod was removed because they permanently shut down the entire subreddit with no intention of reopening it.
