It is deeply bad that a moderator can remove any post or reply.

Yes, I know, trolls etc. But such action turns any conversation into a bad joke. And anybody who trusts a moderator is a fool.
Find a better way.
You're viewing a single thread.
the thing youre missing about the fediverse.. if a community does not approve of a mod they can literally pick up and move their community to a new community or even a different instance altogether.
this has happened at least a few times.
moderation is a necessary management tool, and yes, it is certainly abused.. but the fediverse gives us the ability to tell mods to go fuck themselves.
Necessary? That is a large statement.
What leads you to say that it's necessary?
The entire history of the Internet my guy.
The fact that unmoderated places attract pedophiles sharing pictures, Spambots, and trolls.
Go take a look at a random board on 8kun if you don't believe me.
It's largely unmoderated, you'll love it!!!There are other ways to control the conversation. Ones that do not require a moderator. For example, voting.
So not necessary.
I'm sure the police will agree when they find child abuse videos on the instance server's HDD.
"No don't arrest me, the child porn was DOWNVOTED!!"
Imagine a form of downvoting that led to removal from the server.
Decree of the masses vs decree of authority . Still gets the job done.
You do mean like this very comment, right now?
IDK... Careful what you wish for?
The irony of saying this, while also benefiting from humans' leeway is kinda rich, just saying.
