MODERATORS
I want an internet where admins don't control the world. Where moderators don't become megalomaniacs that get to control the way submissions and comments get banned without reason.
I want a place where someone's passion for their unique hobby doesn't get stripped away by corporate interests, exploitative third parties, and ad agencies.
I know it might be a pipe dream but I'll keep trying to fight for what I believe.
I think the Fediverse is a good step towards your ideals. It's not perfect, but it is a step.
Definitely a baby step in the correct direction.
It's necessary. I agree. Admins exist for a reason and serve a purpose. But when you get into a "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" debate it becomes a topic that needs to be addressed. I don't have enough expertise to give an answer to such an existential question so I'll have to leave it to anyone else to hash it out from here.
