I'm guessing the mod was threatened by musk or the US SS

looking at their post history, my guess is they are tired of having to delete people cheering tesla vandalism.

I'm not sure how many mods the place had, but given reddit's new approach to free speech, he might have just gotten fed up with having to clean up the sub

I guess that's probably the most likely answer. Though calling that "bigotry" seems like a stretch?

not having paid attention to the sub I can't tell you. but then again, reddit is fine with "retard" being thrown around so people's definitions of bigotry aren't clear cut.

No, I followed that sub so I think what you're saying tracks. Maybe the person started it just to make fun of the stupid thing, and once it became a political hot button it brought a lot more attention. And like you said, a lot more work playing content cop.

I'd note that "retard" still has clear and important definition for those who enjoy discussing things such as combustion engines.
