This is an extremely naive defence of moderator fiefdom.
Especially in large politically oriented subs, moderator censorship needs to be kept to a minimum. Politics is fundamentally different from other types of discussions in this sense in that political discussion cannot exist without disagreement. If you don't like how the sub of Pokemon or something is being modded, sure make your own. It's of a fundamentally different nature when a political sub with 6 million subscribers is being censored by a small team of mods with absolutely no accountability.
Politically speaking you can't simply say start your own, that's fundamentally not how politics operates. That's like saying to someone criticizing some government policy or another "don't like it here, move to another country!" it's a fundamentally anti-political statement that seeks to quash political discussion instead of foster it.
The admins need to consider these set of problems related to mods that I pointed out, especially if there is going to be any place for politically-oriented subs on reddit in the future.
There's nothing here!
