your suggestion isn't a problem, you can have defaults based on popularity and then the defaults get controlled by what most of the users who do configure their stuff choose.
Don't make the mistake of thinking a mod is above people and needs to tell users what they are allowed to see.
I included in my suggestion that you can see what gets moderated, obviously. Any website with non-public moderation logs tends towards horrible abuse of moderation powers.

They are not above people but they are the ones curating the content in the subreddit. If people don't like that, they can vote with their feet and leave. I've seen this play out several times. Communities leaving and building new subreddits, sometimes overtaking the previous one, sometimes not. > I included in my suggestion that you can see what gets moderated, obviously. Any website with non-public moderation logs tends towards horrible abuse of moderation powers. Why should that make a difference? Most mod stuff is boring mundane stuff. Finding the juicy stuff is not that easy. And even if you have unfair mods, you can't remove them even if you can prove that they are abusing their power. Reddit mods with seniority have power over those with lesser seniority. Changing that to say democratic votes from all mods to oust another mod only leads to more politics and drama. You can't prevent drama.
