Self-moderation doesn't work for any reasonably large community, if you don't want your community to be generic Facebook/Instagram quality posts. Community-based moderation inevitably makes any subreddit into "fun phots/videos" because people who browse largely don't care about where the post is, they might not even realize what subreddit it is in when up-voting.
Subreddits like askscience or askhistorians would be impossible without extremely strict moderation, for obvious reasons.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoOk, but flip side… Reddit “Science” is the one of the most ridiculously biased and censoring of dissent subs I’ve ever seen. Absolute junk science that confirms a political bias? Straight to the top!! Any reasonable voice? [Removed].
- patrick451 3y agoAs always, censorship is common sense moderation if it aligns with your existing biases.
