  There are many flaws against Reddit, but continuing to only harp on the moderation point isn’t productive and might end up backfiring. This isn’t a great argument on the basis of optics as many people are content with how the moderation works.

  At best, this argument needs to be refined, for example: “Reddit’s powermod structure led to a limited number of users having more power over community engagement than what seems healthy”.

  At worst, this argument gets spread by the type of users who rely on harassment, brigading, and engaging in bad faith, then get understandably reprimanded.

    I don’t care about optics as an end user. I care about my experience. And majority of reddit agrees that the admins and mods suck unless it’s a very niche community.

  I feel the opposite. If a community is owned by shitty mods, there is usually an alternative with better moderation

    Sometimes the mods change over the course and the sub grows large enough to not have an alternative. r/soccer is a perfect example.
