Usenet did not have moderators right? Reddit was more of a "run-a-forum as a service".
But the Big Drama made it clear that it's Reddit's forum, not yours. Bait and switch.
- gerikson 3y agoUsenet did have moderation, as per this Reddit post (ironically): https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/m2dtcg/usenet_moderation_process/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/m2dtcg/us... Usenet preceded modern social media so the current discussions about who owns content didn't apply. Reddit was remarkably open in the beginning. Anon accounts, light moderation, open API... it's when they decided to try to extract more value that it became really shitty.
- kergonath 3y ago> Usenet did not have moderators right? It depends on the newsgroup. Some of them did. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup
- SyberShock 3y agoThere are still active, moderated newsgroups. The majority of them have dried up, but some are still relevant.
