Sometimes we do it that way because it’s easier than the other ways. Sometimes we do it that way because we like the power.

Sooner or later the person in charge starts acting, not to stop the bad guys, but the fulfill his own agenda.

    That’s irrelevant to me. I see an account that is 5 days old who is already making very broad assumptions about communities and their history, having no context of why we have ended up here. I also check histories of people who make this post (and this is a very common post), and there’s always a removed post in their past that ruffled their feathers. So, you’re brand new to our community, you’re making broad sweeping statements, I don’t know if you’re right or wrong, go prove it.

      Prove what? That’s literally how moderation works. (And more generally, and I was speaking generally, it’s how certain undesirable forms of nation-governance work too)

      So, seriously, am I wrong?

        As I said, I don’t know, prove if you are wrong or not to us. Open your own communities and show us how it’s done, we won’t know until you prove it to us.

          As I said, it’s literally how moderation works. It’s literally the software we’re running here.
