I'm not surprised by the speed since the protests were so public. But in the case of the Tumblr sub it sounds like a "power mod" revealed themselves as an actual admin, and that does surprise me if it's true.

We always knew admins used alts, and suspected that's who some/most power mods were, but this would be the first time I've seen them take the mask off so blatantly.
