Can mods on Reddit band together to remove other, higher-ranked, mods?

Seems likely. It’s strange though, because they’ve been moderating the Subreddit for longer than the ACP has existed.

What’s weirder is that the first pro-ACP accounts was added only a few hours ago (1:46 AM (GMT) March 9th 2026), and they claim to have been added by the top-ranked moderator u/Alextine.

I believe u/Alextine is the sub founder, so was it a fed op since the beginning? Or did their account get stolen?

u/HeinrichTheWolf_17 was also added just over an hour ago. They don’t seem to be doing anything yet, but it’s still very suspicious.

Seriously, what the fuck is going on?! The top-ranked moderator added these two people, so it seems like they’re compromised.
