Reddit still relies on human moderators, admins, etc. What I'm talking about is a purely community driven moderation scheme where, through various algorithms, the community dictates what is and isn't acceptable.
Wouldn't that just be essentially upvoting and downvoting and deleting downvoted posts?
That was originally the intent of reddit, that people would downvote unconstructive comments, but that quickly turns into the community "moderating" away anything they disagree with, and enforcing an echochamber.
I don't think communities can have enough objectivity to effectively moderate themselves.
That's a great idea, if those people were vetted for being objective. If I posted the communist manifesto, would that be blocked, would I be kicked out?
