Maybe we need rewards for content moderation? (Only talking about putting posts in the right sub, you can put your pitchforks away, haha)
I think honest moderators will win over malicious moderators since cooperation between malicious moderators will be harder than honest moderators just following "the truth" / their gut feeling. Kind of like in bitcoin.
Just thinking out loud, not sure if this approach is a good idea...
I just don't want @k00b having to do a lot of manual moderation work. This won't scale. And he will become a target for controversial decisions + risk to become a benelevont dictator.
In general, if people aren’t labeling their posts right, maybe subs aren’t the right content grouping mechanism.
Maybe we shouldn’t have content groups at all and have a more twitter like feed (using WoT).

depends on which problem we are trying to solve:
  • do we want to show users what we think they want to see? (or web of trust says, they should want to see)
  • do we want users to decide what they want to see? then we need better search and thus tagging content / putting them into subs
so a twitter like feed is orthogonal to subs, I would say

Worth thinking through

Maybe putting content correctly into the right sub can be solved using AI 👀
I assume AI is already advanced enough to do tasks like this with a high rate of success. And false positives can then be fixed manually.
