Do we value this comment, and their selective enforcement of what gets removed by a moderator?

this is why I want a platform that removes mod power to censor.

What examples of this platform exist now? Even 4chan censors illegal material (eventually)

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

there are none because it's counter to existing social media platform control and monetization.

to summary, I believe that a community must self regulate and mods should be a mechanism for when that process fails. they would get restorative powers instead of destructive. system owners would be responsible for content moderation based on reporting for illegal content. users are silenced instead of banning.

Ok, so something like slashdot's old metamoderation? But even then they still had active moderators

Or perhaps old school news groups with NNTP?
