View submission: On Reddit's moderation system creating a reddit-wide echo chamber
Have you really ever been a moderator for a large subreddit? From my experience, if you don't have a 0 tolerance policy and stick to it, you're going to end up in endless discussions and debates about what really is hate speech.
Agreed, this is why I focused on lack of any form of consensus within a mod team. Arguing with users is often a waste of time, and the mute function is there to protect mods from getting spammed, but it also creates a situation where the expectation is to ban and never question or second guess anything.
Conservative and similar subreddits are not a safe places to have a discussion
Not if you're not alt-right anyway, but perhaps the rise of these aren't related to my specific point on moderation, I just found it interesting that they are subs with topics that go against the tide of reddit's side-wide bubble.

I'm with you that it's essential to have different spheres of moderation style. I disagree that makes the moderation style in those subreddits promote a more open discussion when any contrarian opinion is immediately removed with prejudice.
