>Reddit's subreddit structure and the underlying moderation system is quite scalable: site admins only deal with the things that subreddit moderators have failed to.
All that happens is mods just lock any post with any hint of a problem. It's become or rather started out as being ridiculous. They just lock instead of moderate.
- supriyo-biswas 3y agoThe strict moderation you hinted at is quite okay from a legal perspective, it’s just suboptimal for community building and healthy conversations.
- friendzis 3y ago> it’s just suboptimal for community building and healthy conversations By design Reddit's moderation model is a tool incentivizing unhealthy, one sided conversations and echo chamber-y communities. Reddit moderators have to go the extra mile to avoid those.
- sedatk 3y agoTrue. Mod power is abused a lot. But that’s a different problem, not necessarily mutually exclusive with scaling.
