This is an unverified reddit comment, so please take with discretion:
One of the assistant mods posted about this on the Subreddit Drama thread. They explained that it seems to have been a confluence of two issues: 1) Reddit, reportedly at the behest of Elon, is using AI to crack down on a wide spectrum of political comments. So automated moderation has already been made high sensitive. 2) Tesla and more specifically the Cybertruck have become a symbol of the frustration towards Elon, thus the Cyberstuck subreddit became a lightning rod for charged political comments.
Combine 1 & 2 above and the head mod is now getting a lot more work dropped in their lap. The assistant mod says the head mod was getting more angry by the day and seems to have just snapped. Like I said, I didn't verify this and no way to know if other forces were acting behind the scenes.
I can confirm that for the first time ever, I got dinged in what I can only assume was an AI for posting threats of violence. What I said was the subject should turn upside down so the blood could rush to her brain and she could have a rational thought.
he thought it could be non-political? what is the mod smoking, the cybertruck was politicla from the moment he sold it,a nd bought twitter before releasing this trash.
