My AskReddit comment exposing moderation abuse was removed by mods after they told me that it would not be. Also shadowbanned.

This is a massive problem and nothing can be done about it. A select few run this site and they can censor any post going against them.
/u/manwithoutmodem is one of these people. Just look at all of the huge subreddits he mods. He has a ton of power and has fucked me and many other people over countless times and there is nothing we can do.
This post will be removed by mods, I guarantee it.
EDIT: sorry for coming off as paranoid. Just take a look for yourself at how many subreddits the moderators of default subreddits moderate.
EDIT2: I have made a subreddit dedicated to exposing mod power and promoting "independent" subreddits.
screen of mod promising not to remove the thread
screen of other askreddit moderator getting mad at the one who deleted everything
This is bullshit

Mods can't shadow ban, only Admins can.

How do you know that? What's to stop admin from delegating power?

I can't tell you :)

Kind of correct.
mods can enact a pseudo shadowban in their own subs by using automod fitlers targeted at specific users.

If this is true this brings up a whole new level of abuse.

how can one man moderate 596 subs?

You were probably banned for blatantly promoting your iconoclastic sub, that I just subscribed to :)
