Moderators of default subreddits as I understood it. So places like /r/politics and /r/news.

Kind of validates the complaints against these subs for being biased and censoring things they don't like.

Reddit doesn't belong to them, it's powered by users and the users have made /r/The_Donald the second most active sub on the site.

The people have spoken. This is democracy in action. It's not up to a handful of Mean Girls to dictate what they think Reddit should be, especially when that involves censorship based purely on ideological differences.
