The problem is that Reddit never really made a better way for communities to mod themselves. They kept the really bad mod rank system because replacing it with something else would cost money and potentially threaten the existing mod base.
Of course, it isn’t like Reddit would listen to the mods if the mods had a user mandate.
This is why I left reddit, they say they care for the community. Only to use their actions to remove good moderators (maybe 1 or 2 bad ones in the process of this fire bombing of bans) and the nail in the coffin being u/spez doing more dumb decisions. Like doubling down on the API. . . Despite the protests and his app going downhill.
lol, “subreddits belong to the community of users…” clearly doesn’t belong to the users. That’s the whole problem
