How did redditors treat him? I was subscribed to the sub and I have no idea who db0 is. I recently learned that db0 owns the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance but I don't know anything beyond that.

It's still one of the top posts on [email protected]: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35555?scrollToComments=true . r/piracy went downhill soon after this.

So what?

He was a mod and then he wasn't. Why does it matter? Whas he a very active and liked mod or something? And reddit did that not redditors.

It's unprecedented at the time because he was the top mod so the only one that can remove him was Reddit admins, and they did. r/piracy fell into a complete chaos shortly after that, lots of awful stuff so I didn't stay long to see how it went.
