No, the reddit Admins are on their side, never hold them accountable while holding others to a much higher standard when SRS bitches about "vote brigades" etc. in order to allow SRS to censor places that don't uphold their ideological view of SJW ideology.
SRS doesn't shit on Admins, being an outgrowth from and with heavy overlap with Something Awful forums (like those who partook in Helldump), SRS harasses, doxes, raids, trolls, and false reports others in order to enforce their Politically Correctness on others.
So, in this case Reddit admins were censoring certain kinds of offensive content, while leaving up other offensive content which SRS likes. Voat is a reddit clone which users were flocking to. The host of voat was brigaded by SRS, resulting in termination of hosting but that was just after voat had moved to new hosts. So, SRS then went to Paypal as they've gone after people's patreons, gofundme, etc. crowd funding platforms before, and made a bunch of false accusations yet again. It's not like Voat was willfully hosting illegal content, they remove illegal shit, but you see, SRS will false flag as a user then post kiddy porn, screen shot it and report it as Voat (or whatever group) supporting child pornography.
Rather than stand up to the SRS trolls the SJW sympathizers at these funding platforms use SRS complaints as the excuse they needed to silence and suppress those they disagree with.
It's not like SRS is running a campaign against the Reddit admins, they're the agent provocateurs and digital terrorists of Reddit.
