Edit: Oops, it is /r/Tennessee, not /r/ProgressiveHQ

A screenshot of a poster on Reddit /r/Tennessee trying to post about the election, and a mod removing the post while not really pretending there's a good reason to remove it

It can be used to pressure admins to remove problematic moderators. It can be used to pressure admins of your instance to defederate from other instances with problematic admins. It means mods can't gaslight people about their actions. Obviously it doesn't magically stop bad actions but it gives us a lot of ways to resist it and counter it.

    In theory, yes. I have seen one (1) case of it working, across hundreds of communities.

    You've only seen one case of mods not being able to gaslight people? I'm been a little cheeky because it's so much more than getting mods to step down or apologize or shit like that. If they're the problem people can make a new community. If the instance is the problem you can jump ship to a new one. Hell, you can even self host if it comes down to it.
