im sorry, it took them 8 months to put in logging for the networking problems?

do not fool yourself. this place is just as strong with the group think mentality. if you want proof, look at all the defederation discourse.

That's a poor way to measure karma since people downvote significantly more liberally than they boost, and boosting isn't a thing on lemmy.

you could say the same thing about linux, but its growing and evolving because of the various avenues that use it.

Does it let you use it on specific users? Some bots would be useful to put it on. I know of a few that post relevant videos automatically or aggregate game API data that would be good to add to a few subs.

Yes. That's not grounds for volunteers to sue reddit for doing a different job.

in theory, you can exclude anything that is a text post, but a lot of the content posted on sum subs that you want are self posts. like sports post games, weekly resets in games, or transcripts of twitter threads.

facebook, twitter, and tumbler all got along without community moderation, i don't see how reddit would actually be any different. every subreddit is a glorified hashtag in the grand scheme of things.

It became a problem because it meant they were forced to bow down to advertisers instead of leaning into user funding. Discord has leaned into user funding very heavily, but I don't know of any other social media that is more funded by its users than it is by ads and is regularly used/promoted, at least in the US.

Reddit could operate without subreddit moderators. The main reason mods exist is to remove abusive users and bots, both of witch could be handled by the vote system.

Reddit requires moderators in order for the business of Reddit to function.

no they dont. they literally have a system to democratically promote or suppress posts.

mods had unilateral control over their communities until very recently. short of doing anything illegal or breaking TOS, mods could ban whoever they wanted for any reason. what stopped this was the fact that communities would riot if mods were to ban random users they simply didn't like. look at places like /r/latestagecapitalism, /r/blackpeopletwitter, /r/witchesvepatriarchy, or /r/conservative, they will all aggressively ban users or block users from posting if they do not go through verification or disagree with the group think. and the community loves it because they're stuck in their echo chambers.
