They hated the statement made by the cyberpunk ghost story devs https://archive.is/jhn9j Also tried to pretend the devs didn't actually get a bunch of harassment and that they didn't get called sexist.

Default subs have their mod teams essentially picked out by reddit's admins. Only santized, silicon valley corporate approved thoughts are allowed in them. Any opinions that push outside that are suppressed.
Then one of the mods has the audacity to come to our sub and actually yell at a user.
They complain that they're being brigaded even though we do nothing of the sort and don't want to engage with them, then they come into our sub and try to start shit.
The level of retarded faggotry never ceases to amaze.
How does one brigade a massive default sub that is actively promoted by the site?
"Everyone come join us!"
"We didn't mean you!"
Brigading basically changed to meaning "lots of people are disagreeing with me" quite sometime ago.
Many times you are called a brigader by bringing a "non-mass approved" opinion from another sub into one. Even if you are a user of both.
Basically, yeah.
I suspect by this point that simply not being enthusiastic enough would get you pulled from the mod team of a default sub.
I suspect it's been like that since at least 2016.
It's the only way I can explain the total disconnect between the politics of reddit default subs and, like, basically any twitch chat.
Upvotes regularly aren't legit and neither are downvotes. Anything that seems like it might be wrongthink - I know this is the case because I've seen repeated instances where I or someone else will post a reply 8 clicks deep in some comment thread where really only a tiny handful of people are going to see it, and it will get instant downvotes from more people than were participating in the conversation that far down in the thread.
Like, there's no fucking way you get 5 downvotes (and no negative replies) within 2 seconds of posting unless your comment high in the pile.
Reddit has a long history of allowing wokesters to brigade with impunity, so I see no reason to doubt that they don't also turn a blind eye to bots doing the same thing.
