I hear ya, former mod here too, and its the most stressful guessing game after reddit gives you a warning to try to not get your subreddit banned... you even end up having to censor posts with richard spencer getting punched.

Meanwhile every 3rd comment on the reddit mains is "nuke china!", or "unpopular opinion here, I don't want black ppl in my neighborhood" (10k upvotes and 50 flairs.)
