MODERATORS
They're the same people. If someone is on a power trip, it suck regardless.
Yeah plus mods do all the shit the rest of us don’t want to do
Mods don't do shit anyway. You could remove them and every community would immediately improve. Doing absolutely nothing in this case will be better than what's going on now
Naw, thats when the freeze peaches people come and turn it into a cess pool of racism and trolls.
If you’re talking about discord yeah. Not exactly what they do there but I also haven’t used it in years.
On forums they remove spam, CP, all that shitty stuff no one wants to see.
nah man,
mods that are doing their (unpaid) job help with:
corruption and power trips are another thing, it's a really common problem because any amount of power can get into people's heads and make them act like assholes. I believe a part of the problem is also opting for the path of least resistance, where instead of solving a solvable problem a lot of mods instead opt to just get rid of it. But then how much bullshit are you capable of putting up with?
don't get me wrong, I myself am an anarchist, but today's internet is not built to be sustainable without moderation. Anarchism relies on mutual aid and keeping each other accountable, which is just not possible in a place where everyone is anonymous, can create a hundred alts, and doesn't even need to look another person in the eyes as they hurt them and the communities they are active in
I agree, let votes deal with it and take mods out of the equation.
