View submission: On Reddit's moderation system creating a reddit-wide echo chamber
Bans are jarring.
I say this as a mod who issued like 5000 bans and got 3000 people suspended.
For a long time there was a determined group of people on Reddit who would use underhanded tactics to violate Policy and or rules or who would just participate in very bad faith. They would keep recycling accounts to do the same thing.
Moderators have limited time and desire to litigate these things too deeply and there are better things to do with our time

I want to be a mod

While there are people that violate the rules, mods also do. The mods of g4tv, saltierthankrayt, politics, and other subs want to control the narrative in their subs and ban across Reddit and Discord at the same time. They also mod multiple subs to retain power.
