I agree completely. I am curious to see how this site plays out. I also spent almost all of my time on reddit lurking. I didn't seem to care what was said on most sub's. But I didn't like the way certain sub's like news, world news or conspiracy were being controlled, censored and influenced by the moderators. We will see. They can say what they want. Without control of the moderator it may stop the censorship. Hopefully without the corporate control at the top we will have what redddit was a few years ago.

Yeah, the worst bit of it is that we could be censored and not really know about it until after the fact. If you look at undelete, conspiracy and friends, people have only figured out censorship and deletions after a bit of investigating. Imagine what we're missing or what's being squashed before we can find it.

We need automatic logs of moderator actions. Heck, i'd say it's not too far for any moderators actions to be visible, as it relates to or occurs on the subverse.

I would say anyone tagged as a mod has to create a mod account. No user mods.
Mod accounts are 100% transparent. Click a mod, you can see every post, action, PM, etc. No ability to vote, either.

If a user is a mod, that mod is linked to the account clearly. (user account contents retain normal user privacy). One Mod account per user account.

Things I'm starting to hate with a passion from reddit:

  • Beaten to death jokes/puns by 14 year-olds who think they're the funniest motherfuckers in the universe, in every thread.
  • Extreme racism, stereotyping and discrimination posts getting highly upvoted.
  • Have an opinion, or dare you have factually sourced information that is contradictory to the hive mind? Say hello to negative karma.
  • Self-post promotion posts that only apply to non-famous people/bias by mods/admins.

Yeah, i don't use facebook or other social media but i hoped that the 14 year olds would go flock there... I was once 14 and it was cool, but I really want to move on to a website where the majority are well out of high school.

Factually correct information battles were the worst. People just went silent or never replied if you brang in facts, and half the arguments were conjecture vs conjecture. Maybe only once or twice have I seen people back up their statements and proceed. Otherwise like you said, you'd be downvoted to invisibility.

Reddit as a use of an advertising platform was annoying. I tried to stay out of it but it was hard to
