I take it users will be able to vote out Admins and the CEO as well?
Why should the users have any vote over anything?
It's their content. Reddit wouldn't exist without user contributed, moderated and 'engaged' content.

#12Translation: Reddit will take a heavier hand and stamp out any behavior they don't like.
And the obvious next step is to sell control of subreddits to the highest bidder.

#13Good riddance. The moderators are the worst part of Reddit. Just pay someone to do their job.
I mean, they're better than branded subs being moderated by the brand. Imagine Disney just being given the ability to moderate all of the starwars or marvel subs.

>The moderators are the worst part of Reddit.
probably why you were down voted, I think the mods provide a decent service preventing it from degenerating into an echo chamber like truth-social
>Just pay someone to do their job
This I agree with, if the mods were paid well, maybe things would be better. Maybe a rule change like "If your group gets xxx many unique users posting content per day, you get paid X". But that can be abused too.

#17Part of me knows that there are scores of users waiting for their 'turn' to be moderators if the current ones are voted out. I don't think the current moderators see/acknowledge this.

#18Reddit wouldn't be what it is without mods.
Good luck finding people that will work for free without a sense of ownership.

#19Welcome to do all the moderating yourself Huffman. It's the task that all other social networks are constantly struggling with and coming up against laws and regulations, while Reddit had it somewhat figured out, or at least had some systems in place that are better than automated blanked removal. Way to shoot yourself in the foot.

I hope Digg is planning a DiggV5 for the reverse migration.
It would be pretty funny if Kevin Rose bought Digg back and turned it into something not sucky that let’s people post links and comment on them. This could finally be his chance to make the twitter clone he always wanted.
