I have fond memories of Slashdot’s mod system . Members randomly got 5 mod points to up or down vote sometime . Votes were categorized .And that was it . Then metamods would vote on the quality of the votes. I wrote in the past tense but I guess /dot is still around .
Slashdot was also incredibly strictly curated. The concept of subreddits back when it was THE website for nerds was completely alien.
Now it just doesn’t hold a candle to most social media in terms of the variety of content. When things are that much under the thumb of the website admins, almost any moderation system should be able to handle the commentary.
