I actually think this is a really interesting case.
Reddit moderation is absolutely horrendous and subreddit mods have near complete power even when they go off the rails and start banning people for unsubstantiated reasons. There is no recourse and Reddit won’t do anything about it.
IMO outsourcing moderation to subreddit mods with no ability for individual users to appeal is very anti-user and fundamentally unfair. Worse moderation system than more “centralized” platforms like Twitter or FB.
- somat 4y agoI don't reddit much, but isn't that the point of having subreddits, so they can moderate themselves, it's both the wort part of having a distributed system(all of those separated instances without central control, what if they say the wrong thing) and the best part of a distributed system(there is no central control to make sure they say only the right things). only without the actual distributed part.
- weard_beard 4y agoIn an era where it is a socialized and expected outcome that your community outreach can and does have as much of a financial impact on your business as the security of your payment gateway does it make sense to ensure communities like reddit or twitter have standards and practices that are clear and auditable for, say, SOX compliance? Otherwise their chimera like terms of service represent massive financial risk to business that leverage them.
