I recently posted the following item on this website un der Xiaomi: https://lemdro.id/post/lemdro.id/12693729
Prior to posting here, I had tried to post the same item in the Xiaomi subreddit on Reddit.
My posting was removed instantaneously. I mean so fast that it could not have been done by a human.
I was presented with the follwing message:
*Sorry u/dromani, your post has been automatically removed.
Your account is brand new or has low karma, and our subreddit experiences a lot of spam from new accounts or help vampires which think we're an Official support outlet for Xiaomi (which we're not). As such, we remove submissions from these accounts to prevent it.
IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T READ THE ABOVE LINK ABOUT BEING A HELP VAMPIRE*

IGNORE THE MESSAGE BELOW TO MODMAIL US, AS THEY GET IGNORED.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.*
I invite readers to read my post and explain to me how it could possibly be construed as me being a "help vampire", to use the term presumable coined by the mods?
And regarding the last two sentences of the rejection message:
"IGNORE THE MESSAGE BELOW TO MODMAIL US, AS THEY GET IGNORED.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.*
The second sentnece presumably comes from Reddit as a way to provide a path to appeal a mod decision. But the mod, in all caps, essentially tells me "don't bother contacting me, as I will ignore you anyways". This seems to me contrary to what Reddit policy intended with their statement about cpntacting mods if I have questions or concerns.
This all smaks to me as abuse of authority by a petty dicator mod making rules that are in violation of Reddit intended policy.
Hence my question - Who moderates the mods on reddit?
You do by voting with your wallet and not using or engaging with the platform.
