But the political parties have a lot influence on who is getting the (very well payed) jobs so its not like its really independent.

I think karma in relation to up/down vote of posts is a good thing.
The total karma of an account isnt interesting for me, but other users may be more interested in it.
Best solution in my opinion would be if it is handled instance based. If one instance decides to show the total karma of a user its ok for them another instance might decide to not show the total karma or even completely hide up/downvotes.
So every user can find an instance that alligns with his view on this matter.

What is the big step about shutting down a 1 week old account?

Thats your opinion…as long as the company pays the servers its their right to manage them as they want. And its the right of everyone of their customers to leave the platform if they dont like it (thats what i did).
Maybe volunteer would have been a better word than employee but that doesnt change the essential part that its reddit whos paying the bills for the servers and the technical staff so in the end they have the last word.
But thx for replying instead of just stupid downvoting.

Honestly i get that you are angry/disappointed on a personal level. But its pretty normal reaction from reddits side. You were not cooperative to their request to open up the sub so they searched for someone who would do it.

I dont want to defend them, i allready cleared my account over there but from a business perspective its a normal reaction. If your employees (even if they work without payment) dont follow your instructions you search for someone who does follow them.

And the new mod might be a prick for backstabbing your protest but thats just a opinion. If there are enough users who want to keep using the sub, regardless of reddits shitty behaviour, its ok to reopen it and none of the old mods has a right to hold it “hostage” for their protest.

im adding “-youtube” to searches for a long time. The amount of Clickbaitvideos, no matter what you are searching for, is just crazy.
