Arguably, what right do you have to decide the direction of a subreddit you have never actually contributed to? It's like an absentee parent returning after a decade and immediately trying to enact major changes in your life because "I'm your father".
There have been countless controversies of useless "head mods" returning and doing just that. WSB comes to mind, but there have been many worse ones.

(I am not saying that's applicable for you specifically, as given your example it sounds like you actually had some level of care and activity.)
- traverseda 4y agoI find that mods who are heavily invested in a community tend to be worse, doing things like getting into arguments with users and then banning them. Obviously you mileage may vary, but most of the times I've seen this happen it's been used to kneecap mods I'd consider to be "power tripping". /r/linux is another example.
