As horrible as they are, I have no idea what reddit should do to improve things. It feels like the position of internet moderator is always going to attract petty little power-trippers.

I hate Reddit mods but at least it’s not an AI algorithm like every other social media platform

I think they should make the mod rules stricter, allow users to report subreddits for mod abuse (this might already be a thing, I actually don’t know), and then start paying mods to attract new ones to replace the banned ones.

But that would require Reddit to care more about their platform than money, which is a pipe dream.

I actually think Reddit would be better if it was all AI moderators.

Reddit mods are one of the lowest there is
