Poor-quality mods and admins
I can tell you that as a former Reddit user, Stacker News is far far far better than I imagined. I think territories can be moderated here, but users have the power to downzap a post or comment which they find is not suitable for the community. Territory owners are just a mention away if you think something is not going well.
Censorship and gatekeeping
Didn't see it.
The forum software is now garbage
The UI and the whole way this site works is slick and modern.
Spam attacks
Could happen, but as I said, we all can downzap the shit out of them, mute them.
Chatrooms deprecating the forum
Do we have one? The only closest thing is @saloon, and we can see how well the concept works there.
