It is wildly inaccurate to call HN or Reddit “strong moderation” — the tooling alone is abysmally bad, plus Reddit can’t put the “post anything you want as long as it is not literally illegal” genie back in the bottle so easily after a decade.
- tabeth 9y agoI don't see the connection between the quality of the tooling and whether or not there's strong moderation. HN is pretty strongly moderated and reddit inherently allows for very strong moderation. Do you think HN is not strictly moderated or that reddit does not allow for strict moderation? I'll agree that reddit doesn't seem to expose easy to use moderating tools, though.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoI feel like HN is such an echo chamber it doesn't require strong moderation.
