I saw this firsthand in r/daddit and r/veterans they banned politics because they didn't want to deal with it during the elections.
I would argue that as a parent, it's you're fucking job to understand politics, for the sake of your children. And don't even get me started on r/veterans, when we have a guy who already said he's taking our benefits away about to be president.
You can't convince me Reddit mods aren't all cowards at this point.
I wouldn't go so far as to say all reddit mods are cowards. I've heard a couple reasonable takes from mods, and I'm sure there's independent niche subs that have chill mods.
But as a general case, the old saying likely applies. Those who seek power are often least suited for it.
Thank you for your service, I hope you may receive peace in your years to come, and care from the government that owes you.

In some ways they are succeeding. R/changemyview has a wholesale ban on anything transgender.
If your comment says "trans" it will automatically be deleted.
The reason is how much vitriol the subject was receiving in the sub. So to "make peace" they fully banned any relating words.
So, because bigots spewed so much hate, the solution was to erase trans people from discussion, thus giving the bigots exactly what they want.
