I never ran across that account but it blows me away that this article is two years old. In a way I hope that the account gets unbanned. I am not sure that kind of personality should have any reason to discover the Lemmyverse. Let it stay Reddit’s problem.

Their entire identity revolved around reddit. They devoted their entire life to the site. With that level of commitment you find the time.

Even if you spent 20 hours a day on the site, every day, there’s no way to have meaningful interactions with 1000 communities.

Clearly what they’re committed to is collecting subreddit. Collecting them like baseball cards: Looking at them, smiling, and then stuffing them in a box, never to be looked at again.

How do you know that there’s only one person working the account? When you’re a reddit moderator, it’s anonymous (same on Wikipedia). For all we know, all the power mods are working at a PR firm somewhere. Spreading misinformation could be their full-time job. Controlling the flow of information on Reddit and Wikipedia could be worth more than Reddit’s actual profit.

are you guessing or stating that as a fact, and if the latter, do you have any sources for that

That’s how much reddit cares about you even if you did the job of tons and tons of paid employees.

Also: if you haven’t interacted with a sub in 6 months should you still be a mod?

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
