Moderators are always going to be hated by some segment unfortunately.

There will always be people who just want to show up in a space and act like an asshole, then cry "censorship" when they are asked to leave.

I kind of want moderators on Reddit to stop moderating just to show how quickly it would kill the platform. Popular subreddits would be overrun with bots and hate speech within a week. Then the real user exodus would begin, meanwhile Reddit has to try and convince their remaining advertisers that bots and racists are worth advertising to.

I really just wish there was an unfiltered view with an explanation of why posts were deleted. The lack of transparency is completely unnecessary. It'd be trivial to see if the rumors about mods taking money to curate messages in subs have any substance to them.

If they really are considering allowing users to vote out mods, I'd really like to see better documentation of their activities.
