No. Mods should not be removed because their comment history is being brigaded. If you want to remove her power, just migrate to /v/askgoat. Problem solved.
While that all sounds fine and dandy on the surface, who gets to define abuse? If the site is subject to mob-rule and any sub which offends the hive mind gets bulldozed then there isn't going to be a whole lot of free speech around the place. Whether there ends up being an SJW clique in control or an anti-SJW clique makes no difference, the site will default to reddit standards.
Moving sub is not such a hardship that it must never be required to happen. /v/askgoat is running just fine.
Her comment history is being brigaded because this is the only way the community has to oust an unfit, malicious mod.
If we had a more civilized way of doing it, such as submitting a vote of no confidence, we would have done just that.
This is our vote of no confidence. This person is unfit to be a mod of a neutral 50K sub. They subscribe to an ideology that goes against everything Voat stands for, the very reason it was founded.

"The community" can migrate if it wants to (and is in the process of doing so), and there's no guarantee that a brigade will represent "the community." (insofar as an amorphous grouping can be represented by anyone)

I personally do not want to belong to another site which bases moderator positions on political reliability.

Actually, we did. This was not the only one. For all the good any of them were worth.
The one I posted is currently two votes shy of 1,000 with an 88% approval rate, and does not even mention "SJW" or the personal views of any moderator, it only serves to register dissatisfaction with the moderation of that sub.

Voat is all about freedom. If @she wants to super-moderate v/askvoat then it is her right at mod of a sub. Some people might even like it super moderated. But It is our freedom, if we do not like as subverse, to make an subverse that fits the niche that you want to find. We have 10 different subverse that talk about the same thing, they just do it slightly different and have different user bases.just move to the one that fits you best and avoid the others.
