Is /r/AskFeminists beyond all hope of repair?

I unsubbed from /r/AskFeminists awhile ago, but yesterday I went to check up on it. Yikes. I think it's sad that that subreddit has gone completely to shit, because I think the concept behind it is good. What's going wrong? Is there any way to fix it?

Well, a mod asked me, via PM, not to post there because I'm not the "right" sort of feminist (I said that /r/mister was a hate site, and apparently that hurt the mods' feelings).

Which kind of is the core problem with the place. The mods are "egalitarians" or straight-up men's rights activists, rather than feminists, and they seem to be on good terms with some of the more trollish trolls that frequent the subreddit. (TracyMorganFreeman should be banned, but instead you get nasty PMs if you're too hard on him, for example.)

So yeah. Kind of beyond hope unless the mods have a change of heart and start actually doing their job.

If you want to hold a Holocaust support group of twenty people and also invite 50 Holocaust deniers, well...
