From what I’ve seen, a lot of the toxicity is trickling down from the powermods. Same issue migrated from Reddit.

Mods will always be a problem.

I’ve yet to encounter a well adjusted human who voluntarily mods.

My preference is for completely community moderated platform.

People essentially vote for content moderation. Likely susceptible to gamification but I’m still interested in seeing it in practice.

I just think it's neat.

Probably some of the same powermods doing it
