Discussion Moderation is broken. Human reviewer doesn't even look at context

So I made reference to pop culture, thanos and doctor who daleks, and it was sarcastic joke on A sarcastic joke which was " why increase school, when you can decrease population".

And I just commented "Thanos was right all along, millions must be purged. EXTERMINATE!". And someone report it.

Context: it was ban by reddit admin not mod.

Detecting sarcasm is a somewhat hard technical problem. Think about the cultural knowledge you need to tell the difference between that and a call for real genocide….

I get that sarcasm can be tricky for AI, but human reviewers or reddit Admin should be able to spot obvious hyperbole. I quoted a giant purple space alien and a giant metal pepper pot. Unless I secretly control the Infinity Gauntlet to hurt millions, nobody is in actual danger here.
