> Reddit subs have soooo much moderation
Moderation I can live with. If some mod doesn't want me on their sub, I find another. It's the admin hammer bans of the subs I found that I object to.
- paulpauper 5y agoreddit admis have vastly more power than fakebook or twitter content moderators. for one, reddit does not outsource their moderation.
- unityByFreedom 5y ago> reddit does not outsource their moderation. Huh? Just because they pay nothing for it doesn't mean it isn't outsourced. It's totally outsourced.
- zionic 5y agoNot when it’s a major hub-sub for a topic. A rogue moderator can take something like /r/spacex and completely ruin it then ban anyone who disagrees, to the point that people have to make stuff like /r/spacexlounge to have a functional community.
- throwawaygh 5y agoI find this sentiment profoundly confusing. Admins are also just mods. Being angry at mods and admins? Not confusing. Being angry at neither? makes sense. Being angry at one but not the other? I don't get it. Maybe it's because I run a few websites off of a machine in my basement, and those are where I say the things I want to say. If another website wants to ban me then fuck 'em I'll say what I want from my own IP/domain. I have never felt particularly entitled to say whatever I want on other people's in-house implementations of vbulletin. I understand that platforms are different, and commented elsewhere on that stuff, but <img src="old_man_yells_at_cloud.jpg">
- lmm 5y agoBecoming a mod of your own subreddit takes about 2 seconds - all you have to do is push a button. Becoming an admin of your own site is a lot more effort, even for a tech professional.
