Steel bands tighten around my heart. My knees knock and my vision wavers. But then I remember I’m not on Reddit, and metacanada has not yet replaced the moderation team with pod people.
What measures are in place to ensure the continuing security of our moderation team? If it won’t compromise them to tell us.
Are you saying I can subscribe to this community without negatively affecting my blood pressure? I’m slightly skeptical but I’ll give it a try.
I know the feeling…/r/Canada was and is an embarrassment. Everyone here seems reasonable so far and I really hope it stays that way.
I’ve always wondered how to best establish this, and I think the answer (like to many things) is democracy.
Have annual moderator elections and allow mods to serve 2-4 year terms.
That makes sense when we’re talking about a constrained resource, like governance over a geographical area. But we are fully unconstrained and we can simply migrate to a community that suits us, rather than trying to change a community that might already suit others.
But then you’re inherently limiting the growth of each community. It’s the whole idea of nomadic tribes vs. urbanization
What’s pod people
Someone who looks and acts like a human being but is in fact a malevolent alien that has killed and replaced the original human being. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pod_People_(Invasion_of_the_Body_Snatchers)
I think, oh shit where did onGuardForThee go?
Then I realize that over here not everyone is a NatPo columnist like it seems to be on the Canada subreddit hehe.
