Guy takes over r/hysterectomy, deletes and bans all criticism

For reference, the new mod has a LONG history of taking over womens' spaces and shilling his business. His first "official post" as a moderator was to ban discussion of sexism, which is a very relevant topic when it comes to healthcare as women face multiple layers of hostility and sexism in trying to get care. Conveniently, when this rule was criticized, he then deleted that post as well.

Several people have caught bans (we are discussing this elsewhere) for pointing out his authoritative and dismissive tone towards anyone and everyone with concerns, ranging from a simple "why was no one involved in this decision" to "why is a cis man telling us how to manage our emotions" (in his first action, he told us to go outside).

I can't even provide much in the way of proof of what's happening because he is deleting everything he doesn't like. Even posts talking about moderator code of conduct have been deleted, he's hidden himself from the moderator list (which is now just him) so that people can't report him directly.

People with no history of offenses are getting temporary and permanent bans despite the fact that those are lower on the tier and require more offenses to be the given moderator action, so he is breaking his own rules.

On a personal note I haven't seen any slurs or anything of that nature thrown his way, mostly just questioning why a man is in charge of a female space, why no one was asked about this, why specifically he is against the discussion of sexism in healthcare.

List of Subs

Comment by u/mangobean_

Edit: reddit admins are intervening and putting some of these subs up for adoption. I've crossed out the subs that he no longer moderates. He is still moderator on some so the fight isn't quite over yet!

Also, whoever takes over moderation of these communities will have some work to do. He allegedly issued unjustified bans and many of these communities have misleading posts from Kevin and automod sticky comments with links to neueve. Please consider cleaning that up so future users don't get misled. Thanks to everyone who made the women's health corner of Reddit a better place today.

Poster Notes

Posted this here because holy hell. According to the comments this guy has been slowly taking over subs for awhile ago he can sell his supplements to desperate women who trust him. And Reddit admin who has their hands in everything somehow didn't notice? Didn't care? I'm not sure but, makes you wonder what else is going on.
