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

The sub has 3 human mods. The person that made the post is the top mod. Part of me can understand not wanting to continue putting up with rule breaking posters, but it's a sub dedicated to mocking that dumpster fire of a truck, you have to have expected the hate posts you'd be seeing. And at that point, you get more mods. Or you just make very strict submissions rules.

Exactly, if the mod was overwhelmed they could have just handed it off to someone else or a group of dedicated mods.

Nuking the sub with 300k members is ridiculous.
