If you ask me, the sub system is actually fuckin trash lmfao then you get moderators who decide how everyone else will play in their own little ecosystem they've decided to roleplay as 'God the moderator.'
This need not be the case. Reddit enables this. This is something that could be decided at sub creation time and not allowed to change (an unchangeable constitution), or something that needs to change by the entire sub voting (democracy), or like on reddit (a system of monarchies/oligarchies) etc.
