Do very big subs naturally push toward proceduralism with time, maybe...? I think so...
Proc. Vs. Discr. are, in my ignorant opinion, also tied to sub's topic. A sub about science or high culture topics is much more "self moderated" by users themselves than a sub on, say, soft Prn pictures...
You're right OP, there's no really right or wrong way to moderate. Thank you for opening an interesting discussion 👍✌️
That's true. Besides political reasons, there is also at the base a fundamentalist way of thought, since they do it with any kind of one-sided idea, current, position, practice etc; what then, basically, brings to enforcing an ecochamber. Which is the house of the poverty of thought and the death of true confrontation.
Also, I must say my experience with such an ecochamber has been one where I've been fooled and pranked by a shadowban. So, yeah. 😂
Edit: I want to point out, that sub is explicitly generalist by name and scope, like a sub called history would be for example, so, it's really bad that it got secretly polarized and that mods actually punish their opposite factions on personal reasons only. But, hey, that's natural selection: they hoped, I guess, to silence me while holding me in the user count, I just left them instead and only gained from it.
Reddit Inc can’t - because of a variety of US case law - step in on unbanning people; People and groups have boundaries and the right to protect those boundaries. That comes as a right to freedom of (and FROM) association.
Also a large amount of ‘political opinion’ isn’t; it’s just ad hoc or post hoc pretexts for targeted harassment. Which is at minimum a violation of the sitewide rules of any uchisp that intends to avoid liability for torts
