- pelasaco 5y agobut not all moderation are the same too, right? I mean reddit has moderation, but IMO, there, it doesn't work as good as here.
- bckr 5y agoThat's why I mention intention of the creators. Reddit is meant to be "the front page of the Internet", which means it needs to be enormous and serve many different communities.
