9 days agoI have gripes with Reddit.
Well not Reddit themselves, but the moderators who run many of the large subs and Reddit’s inaction on the rampant censorship and biased moderation. And I mean both sides politically. Subs that represent countries, like Australia, states, or even cities should not have anonymous mods. Reddit needs to hand off moderation to the Country/State/City and have them appoint, and be responsible for moderators. Right now, it’s a free for all.
And since Reddit isn’t obviously doing anything about it, the best thing we can do is give users an alternative to Reddit. That not only removes their monopoly and power, but lights a fire under their arse.
So here I am, looking for ways to do that.
Yeah, you know, the subs that represent countries should probably be run by someone who officially represents that country. You can still have your anonymous, unofficial subreddits, no argument there. Just like how you have official Youtube and X accounts.
Why? It’s not using a official Australian domain, anyone can spin up a Lemmy instance on some random looking Australian domain and federate it. If it was using an official domain, like some gov.au one, then yes.
