Reddit can (and sometimes does) control who can be, and who is a moderator.
So your distinction doesn't exist: This is effectively the business Reddit engaged in discrimination.
Plus when I read Reddit I'm not interacting with a moderator, I'm interacting with a business.
An actual analogous example would be if individual people use a tool to block anyone Jewish from seeing their comments and replying to them. It would be pretty racist of course, but not illegal. A subreddit though, is not the personal playing area of a moderator.
- Manuel_D 2y agoReddit bans subreddits whose moderators do not remove content that breaks the ToS. They do not require that communities refrain from banning certain people or content. Basically, you can only get sanctioned by reddit as a moderator for not banning and removing content from your subreddit. > A subreddit though, is not the personal playing area of a moderator. Oh, yes. Yes it is. Many of the better communities have well organized moderation teams. But plenty do not. And the worst offenders display the blunt reality that a subreddit is indeed the play thing of the top mod.
