That's what's so insidious about it. We can't shut it down (they tried!). They're replacing mods Body Snatchers-style, and next they'll presumably try to turf the place with "Hello fellow caterpillars, do you too also regret your vote now?" concern trolls before they realize that it's not Magic Dirt (magic ones and zeroes?) that made T_D great, but rather us, and it'll subsequently fade into being yet another moribund artificial leftist shill zone.
Politics and most other subs had their mod accounts secretly sold to chinese and other media/political interests. They cashed out big time thinking it was just their one account. Over time all the big subs become moderated by Islamists, Chinese communists and american socialists.
They put on the skins of the old mods and kicked out the ones they couldn't buy off.
Our mods at TD never sold out. They fought to the end. Reddit had to outright ban them and openly insert their own people.

I'm proud of the TD mods.

I wonder how much it took to sell out, 3k? 5k? Buy themselves a couple trips then come back to a meaningless existence? Gross.
