Everyone with even the slightest exposure to Reddit will be aware of their power-tripping moderators. They rule over their little fiefdoms with an iron fist, enforcing byzantine rules that let them delete whatever they choose for the pettiest of reasons.
Their ludicrous antics occasionally make the news. In Feb. 2026, astrophotography legend Don Pettit posted an image to r/Space taken from the International Space Station. What could be more /Space than that? Well, a moderator deemed it low quality and blurry, promptly slamming delete.
