      Moderation is not bad in itself, it is curating of content to keep topics on track and quality above a certain limit. It has absolutely nothing to do with billionaires or their desires. A lot of subs on different instances are really shitty because of lacking moderation. Leaving subs completely unmoderated is a recipe for a disaster shitpile.

      The good old forum days also had a lot of moderation to keep them from turning to shit.

              They’re not wrong though, this is a meme sub and this post is not actually a meme so it doesn’t really belong. I disagree with your statement that the commenter wants it gone because they don’t personally like it, they want gone because it is objectively is not a meme and shouldn’t be posted here.

              Intentional violation of community rules should trigger warnings/bans/etc. in a well moderated community.

        Guess what? This user has been avidly online since the BBS days and really … posters such as yourself were very annoying back then, too.
