    Why big mod walkouts? That makes no sense. They are literally the ones who can unban him.

    We’re walking out to protest our own actions. It’s the same as when politicians join protests for change. Bro, you’re literally in the position to actually change this

      You are thinking about this from the perspective of a normal person, not someone who is sad and pathetic enough to do something like this. These people are most likely deeply disempowered IRL and being a mod of a large subreddit is probably all they have going for them so they are way too invested in it.

      It was the work one exactly one person. They locked the sub, and the moment someone else unlocked it they kicked all other mods and themself and made it seem like everyone was following him when it was not.

      A lot resigned because people were mad over the ban. The analogy would be more like a politician resigns after everyone complains about their policy.

        I heard it was just one mod who kicked all the other mods and then went on to post that it was a mutual decision. The other mods had no idea at all.

          The article is really confusing, it says they posted you win we resign but also that the head mod kicked everyone. Maybe the first part was the mods bring facetious?
