Those sound like cuck mods who wanted to stay on reddit. And he said they weren't the top mods anyway.

What I recall happening is that u/Shaowman3001 was top mod after reddit removed HottieForTrump for "violent threats" when she started replying to people threatening her life that she had a gun so go for it. There may or may not have been 1-2 more mods before u/Shadowman3001 took over, but IIRC they didnt have it for long

Subsequently Reddit tool all of u/shadowman3001's mod abilities away, leaving the dom with a top-mod who couldnt do anything...not even remove himself. The "effective" top-mod became the number 2 mod (whos name I dont recall) that had control of the discord server and a few other subs (i thiiiiink r/the_congress or r/Trump...not sure). That mod and the #3 and #4 mods wanted to try to make peace with Reddit as they viewed staying on that platform to be the primary thing...no matter what...through the election. Eventually they agreed to let u/ivaginaryfrend take over the #2 role in exchange for...something (I dont recall exactly what it was but I think it was getting rid of some mods reddit considered "problematic")

The moment u/ivaginaryfriend got the #2 slot she kicked all 3 out.

Thats when TDW was announced and the migration to TDW started.
