I was muted just for asking a question in modmail. Is it the new policy that mods don’t have to be tolerant of others opinions that they don’t like? Should you update the seeking mods post to say “just don’t question leadership and you can be a mod / allowed to post here”?

Couple weeks ago. A few mods were booted.

Huh, weird. I was going to ask the same thing. I don't always agree with your viewpoints on issues but you are clearly active and local so it seems odd to be de-modded.

Yeah appreciate that, I'm definitely vocal of opinions, but tried to never let that effect my decisions and appreciated the folks of the sub, like yourself, for giving me grace to do that.

Couple mods (u/paratactical and u/majorfogtime, sorry for pinging you guys but I am talking about ya so felt the thing to do) were demodded, I thought they were good mods and asked the team to vote if we could bring them back, everyone who weighed in voted that they should be mods again(this represented the overwhelming majority of the mod team), within a few hours of bringing the old folks back I was demodded. To be fair I'd been relatively active in questioning some decisions in modmail recently without getting any response, so likely someone became tired of me being a thorn in their side as well.

Guess I left at the wrong time. Missed all this drama! Looks like no new mods were added, I wonder if this round of applications were unfruitful

I mean at some point if things don’t get fixed I’d be surprised if the top mod could find anyone. They got rid of some of the most active mods because they didn’t want to share power and they want to treat folks like employees. It’s an incredibly untenable position and one that I doubt anyone would want to be involved in for too long.

But yeah you missed all the fun!!!

Would they allow the question (that got you muted) to be asked here? Since a mute is less than a temporary ban, I infer that it didn't violate rule 15.

I’d rather not, no disrespect. It’s a pretty specific question for a specific user involving a decent amount of backstory.
