Not to have cosmetic surgery or compulsively clean, but he may have a point, or he may have just missed his HRT this month and be throwing a fit.
We would need a better sample of what content is considered "the same chorus of low IQ rabble", though once people start to notice things, it is hard to get them to stop, especially when they are villianized.
The way I see things if you choose to work as a moderator that means you do your job.
This is the equivalent to a Burger King refusing to allow people to order what they want because "customers are morons."
If you don't agree with a community you moderate then fucking leave it and let someone else handle things. These little hissy fits and virtue signaling is so pathetic.
They refuse to give up power but also refuse to do their job. Kind of astonishing how so little power goes to their heads like this.
I had not really picked up on the dereliction of duty aspect to this whole thing, and I can see how putting everyone in comment time out would qualify as refusing to moderate.
As you suggested, their mod team letting different people take over or moving to a sub that is more regulated to their liking would be better than shutting off the ability to comment.
In the spirit of moderation, I was being a bit lazy and hoping someone would post an example of the content (rather than look it up myself as I try not to Reddit for any reason) to see if his complaint had any merit, or if he was being just as stupid and low effort as he claimed the posters on his sub are.
Just like the 'actualpublicfreakouts' sweeping censorship, this seems to have backfired.
I guess I was being overly charitable in my original post, but after reading over the mod post again, I agree with your point about mod discomfort and (as that post does not specifically mention rules) it not being against the rules of the sub.
If there were rules against racial commentary or noticing things, the "offending" posters would be better off moving subs or platforms entirely.

What would that be?
That mod is doing the exact same thing he's admonishing others for by calling them low IQ rabble.
