Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Mod culture is always odd to me. I kind of wish there was more community modderation, and less dictators for life running things.
I know with mine that’s the approach I’m taking. Let the community dictate rules rather than power tripping mods
What’s your community?
I run an instance for all things pop music! From Madonna to Taylor Swift, if you like pop music you have a home with us! poptalk.scrubbles.tech
I can’t think of a subject I have less interest in but I love that we’re actually seeing all kinds of communities pop up here.
Looking at their profile, it’s probably [email protected]
Definitely a problem that comes with reddit and the unique subreddit names I’d say. I feel like that may not be avoided here since moving many subscribers from a large->small community is so difficult. Maybe the federation style will be successful though, I can’t say I have enough experience to predict that well.
To be honest, I don’t think that’s entirely just a Reddit thing. Power tripping mods have been around as long as Internet forums have in general. It’s a tough one to combat for sure.
As have complaints about legitimate mods from people who got banned. It is a complex issue even just to get the facts of the matter. Maybe some sort of public log of all mod messages and actions would help with that but then one would have to ensure that the people who like the deleted messages don’t just use the mod log as their new place to spread the content.
