I just looked at r/mildlyinteresting and there are only two moderators in the list, and one of them is Automod. Did they only have one real Moderator? Does it take so long for them to reappear or is Reddit (the company) sowing misinformation?
Basically, "providers" aren't considered to be publishing content. They're just providing a means to transmit it. Like you can't hold the phone company liable if one criminal calls another and the two organize a bank heist. You can call that "Section 230 immunity".
However, once a company starts creating/directing/moderating the content it is providing it can no longer say "we're just a pipe stuff flows through".
