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.
