Corporations should absolutely be run as democracies with the employees getting votes imho

How do you choose without losing the community?

How should it be done better?

Sadly it is no longer the 90s

Yeah that’s true. I guess I’m assuming people aren’t upvoting spam. What could be a better way to qualify who is allowed to vote for a community’s mods?

Yeah trialing it on specific instances first is definitely a good idea.

I’d love to see it if you’re willing to demonstrate

Wow you got me I used the popular definition of corporation and not the technically correct one good job /s

If you feel like mods haven’t ruined Reddit you must have not attempted to post on a popular community for at least several years. Go try it.

Easy yes, but the flaws will need to be addressed. Maybe mods have limited removal powers?

Most Reddit mods were fine at one point as well. In your estimation, if I wanted to start a Lemmy community for something niche say bonsai tree triming, how long would it take to get enough people for real discussions?

As I said, Reddit is a corporation so it will never be good even if their platform had no flaws.

I’m open to feedback on my solution, please provide your opinion on how it can be improved to address the weaknesses you’re seeing.

My second solution, which may be too radical, is simply do away with mods. Each community gets a threshold of upvotes to downvotes and anything that’s outside of that range is removed.

There are some obvious downsides with this idea. Sometimes content needs to be rapidly removed. It also opens ideological communities to attacks where good content is removed because people who disagree with it downvote it

As was the style at the time

Other than the next hiker who you are traumatizing

Democrats, obviously

American here. I suggest abolishing the Supreme Court and the Senate, max every member of the house to representing 10,000 people, replace the President with a Prime Minister, Abolish ICE CIA NSA and FBI, ending copyright law, and making union membership mandatory.

That’s a good start.

The system is designed so that we will. Democrats are successfully capturing and stopping social movements as is their purpose. We’ll get a few years of incompetence from them before we’re back to finding new ways to go even further right.

Again, enslaving people in some of the worst conditions imaginable and committing literal genocide is worse than some politicians having bad options.

What was the battle we’ve won exactly? Have we arrested any of the monsters running the government? Established free healthcare? Constitutionally guaranteed access to housing?

Or do you mean a slightly different neoliberal party won an election? If so I’d love to hear how that’s a “major victory” in itself.
