- dgudkov 8y agoYes, but neither of them has a mechanism for self-governance which is the point.
- all2 8y agoAether has self-governance built in. [0] See the bottom of the page on the right: > Communities can elect and impeach their own mods by voting. If a mod behaves inappropriately, users can disable that mod locally as well. Doing so reverts all changes by that moderator for the user, and counts for one impeachment vote.

- dgudkov 8y agoThat's nice to know, although I'm not talking about just selecting a mod. The point is to configure all policies of a social network -- enrolling, banning, messaging, posting, collective decision making, connections to other societies, etc.
