Steel bands tighten around my heart. My knees knock and my vision wavers. But then I remember I’m not on Reddit, and metacanada has not yet replaced the moderation team with pod people.

What measures are in place to ensure the continuing security of our moderation team? If it won’t compromise them to tell us.

    I’ve always wondered how to best establish this, and I think the answer (like to many things) is democracy.

    Have annual moderator elections and allow mods to serve 2-4 year terms.

      That makes sense when we’re talking about a constrained resource, like governance over a geographical area. But we are fully unconstrained and we can simply migrate to a community that suits us, rather than trying to change a community that might already suit others.

        But then you’re inherently limiting the growth of each community. It’s the whole idea of nomadic tribes vs. urbanization

          And just what is so wrong with nomadic tribes??

          It is perfectly fine depending on the geography and it doesn’t limit the technological growth of a civilization.
