I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.

you have been muted and can no longer contact the moderators of /r/modcoord

this mf is going to give people a voting system to kick out mods, and they're gonna use it to kick out the mods he just picked who stopped the subs from going private

that would be really funny, i think
