This isn’t new. Reddit mods have been like this for a decade or more. And the admins let them get away with it because they get free labour from them.

Bonus points if you use an LLM to generate said illegible nonsense.

I miss mid-90s IRC. That was far more social than any ‘social’ media I’ve experienced since.

Reddit has been employing all kinds of sketchy shit for years - including some fairly invasive behavioural fingerprinting techniques. And a lot of it has been abused by “powermods” who figured out how to game it.

Good chance these people simply said something that someone didn’t agree with and got flagged by some prick with a runaway ego.
