Very sad state of things... After all you've done for reddit this is how they treat you. One question, why didn't you consider using a proxy mod account? Wouldn't that have been really useful to restrict the top account activity to 0 so they had no reason to ban?

Pretty wild, hard to ignore the irony of spending a decade removing TOS violations only to be removed for purported TOS violations =/
One question, why didn't you consider using a proxy mod account?
Meh I didn't think it was necessary...there are a couple members on the team I still trust, and I figured if my axo account was even nuked, it would only happen in a reddit environment that had become so toxic and evil that there would be no point in continuing to feed the beast.
That's how I feel now...I feel psychologically liberated in many ways without the burden of that gig. Signing in to reddit itself was becoming a chore...dozens of angry and threatening PMs frequently waited for me.
They were trying to take me down emotionally/mentally...it didn't work (admins had to do it), but fighting back against that took a lot of my creative energy which now can be focused elsewhere.
Also, as much as I have respect for several members of the /r/conspiracy mod team, they are pretty much subservient to the admins who forbade them to add me back under an alt. Not that I would want that, but it's pretty telling the admins felt it necessary to say that lol.
I am going to make a guess that there was a belief in “here are the rules, and we are ALL playing / using them” instead of “these are the public statements we make, and these are the actions we take in support of our agenda”.
