(Apparently mandatory disclaimer: I'm not an admin)

As a for-instance -- the model I use in conjunction with my work on /r/AgainstHateSubreddits breaks down types of hatred and harassment roughly equivalent to the ontology Reddit is using - but also, with respect to (for example) White Supremacist Extremism (an internal category I track), that has expressions in every other category - hatred based on religion, political compartment, gender, sexuality, ability, and with violent tendencies. They also specifically and pointedly instruct their adherents to hide the fact that they're White Supremacists - they tell them to "hide their power levels" and eschew specific distinctive signals that separate their efforts from the efforts of any other more-specifically-focused / "legitimate" political / social / cultural movements.

They know that people will reject them if they're openly identified as the KKK / neoNazis / violent white supremacists - so they do things that obscure that connection. And, sometimes, they do things that seem bizarre but are identifiably related to hatred, because they think it will "red-pill" recruits.

sole and only tool for moderators to interact with the bottom line of reddit

Boycotts and setting up communities on other platforms.

There's a long running microblogging platform that recently went to private ownership and changed names. I deleted all my accounts there, and urged everyone else to do so as well.

I have been boycotting another community-oriented posting platform and all its offshoot products and platforms since 2015-ish, when they failed to remove horrible content which was (imo) clearly placed there by a Russian agency. I was two years ahead of a clear breaking point, as the platform was used to carry out a genocide in SE Asia in 2018.

Boycott.

I have stayed on Reddit & criticised Reddit because I have reason to believe they're acting in good faith.

I bounced out of the API blackout protests after a few days because I had reason to believe they're acting in were in bad faith, were harming Reddit's community goodwill, and frustrating real people - for the sake of flipping a middle finger at a fratboy CEO who enabled most of the conditions causing this frustration and has since cleaned up and is making amends. For the sake of punishing a person who - for all intents and purposes - vanished in a sobriety program's twelve steps.

This doesn't stop people from taking their communities private, appropriately. It merely checks against people taking their communities private to make reddit a bad experience.
