Almost all of the top subreddits are moderated by the same people
There's a network of Dutch subreddits, 99% of which are managed by the same clique of mods.<p>Recently I noticed comments I had posted in those subs over the last few months had completely been ignored.<p>It turns out I have been shadowbanned, and not just on the primary /r/thenetherlands sub, but on every single one of the communities they manage.<p>There is no apparent reason for them to have done this to me. My messages to the modteam are being ignored and Reddit support won't help because "moderators are free to run their communities as they see fit".<p>I have been locked out of engaging with the communities I was most interested and active in, for no apparent reason and likely forever.<p>And this is just one of many reasons for why having so few moderators control so many communities, is such a bad thing. Allowing them to operate without oversight or accountability is not helping the situation either.
