we have no choice
You are working for free moderating an obviously heavily censored shithole. You have several choices, starting with deleting your account.
- Reddit has come forth saying they will not tolerate mods that try to destroy communities like it happened before. If a mod deleted their account, someone else will take their place. If a mod deleted a popular subreddit, Reddit will restore it and ban the mod. Deleting their account does literally nothing.
  
  Then everyone needs to stop modding for free.
  Which I know will never happen, but that’s what it’ll take.

  The thing any sub with big following has mods that don't mod for free.
  The narrative steering is not a free service.
  
  Interesting, and something I never thought of.

  bullshit excuse. Deleting their account removes them from the equation, makes a statement that they are not enablers of the corporate shithole.
  
  Eh. Sure. But ultimately makes no difference in the matter. You can't make a statement when you're literally irrelevant.
  
  Speak for yourself. Speaking up against what one perceives as wrong and distancing themselves from it is absolutely relevant. Using your logic, you might as well "not vote" because "1 vote out of millions is kind of irrelevant".
- Deleting their account doesn't change the rules, only the person enforcing them.
  
  It's like Wargames. The only way to win is not to play.
  
  i like the challenge.
  
  There's no challenge, by participating you lose.
  
  Communities become ghosttown shitholes when the moderators work against good faith discourse.
  Not the same day new shill mods are installed, but within a few months. It poisons everything.
  Banning the creators/mods of a sub is banning the people that care most about that sub, and tends to lead to installing mods that are just looking to flex power, which makes the posts and discourse toothless, repetitive, and uninsightful, which makes regulars look for a new home, if they themselves are not banned for failing to regurgitate the only correct opinions as endorsed by the new mods tasked with bringing order.
  
  I'm seeing a pretty obvious parallel to Luigi's actions in your statement. I don't think it's as straightforward as you're making it out to be
