Mods get to control the political narrative of their subreddits by banning those with opposing views. That makes them more powerful than admins. As an example, Reddit has been so flooded with pro-trans mods that it’s almost impossible to make an anti-trans agenda post in most subreddits without being banned.

The user numbers were bogus anyway since Reddit didn’t automatically decrement the user number after banning a member. The banned member had to manually unjoin the subreddit. So the membership count was inflated with banned members.

Mods get to control the political climate of their subreddit. Those with a political agenda would pay for that privilege.

Bro just DCA bitcoin. Done.

It’s extremely difficult to double your investment with BTC if you start at this point. There are far better stock market investments out there now.

Allowing opt-in moderation attracts mods with an agenda. That’s a big problem with Reddit.

Allowing volunteer mods was dangerous enough. Allowing those mods to have unlimited subreddits was a magnet for agenda-driven operatives. The changes don’t really do enough to get rid of mods with an agenda.

BTW, once a Reddit mod permabans you, there’s no way to appeal their ban. The mods can simply ignore your request for a review. Also, after you are banned, Reddit doesn’t automatically decrement the membership count. You must unjoin on your own. So its membership numbers are inflated for each subreddit.

How would they handle sending them a faked driver’s license? I doubt they have access to the national database needed to verify anything on the pic of the license.

Methods for age verification can include facial age estimation

Can’t that be easily bypassed by using an older person for the selfie shot?

They have dishonest moderation

The mods are also unaccountable. They can (and do) simply ignore your DMs asking for details or reconsideration of your ban. And even if they do respond, the reasoning will be a short gibberish response that you cannot appeal.
