  Isn't dang a paid employee? If so, incentives are different. Its a day job that he could get fired from if he deviates from his main duties. (dang you are pretty decent don't get fired please).

    Heh, according to the other guy he could get fired and replaced with AI because of his ego. For the less than subtle, I wasn't implying that it was good or bad. I was just pointing out the irony of criticizing centralized moderation on a site with centralized moderation. As for whether or not pay makes a difference, I think you probably have a point, but I'm sure there's still wiggle room there.

      >just pointing out the irony of criticizing centralized moderation on a site with centralized moderatio Eh? HN falls under centralized moderation for sure. Reddit not quite so much. That's more of 'middle management moderation'.

  The model only works because of the subject matter filtering 99% of potential users. One good moderator can’t possibly scale to a network the size of Reddit.

    Subject matter and UX. HN has to remain its 2005 era minimally functional self to keep people out.
