There would be a public record of content removal decisions, and perhaps even a restricted way to somehow request the removed content as a matter of public record, without surfacing it into public view. Content couldn't be flagged again for the same reason if the jury had previously approved it. The OP could then write a short defense of the content, and then a "jury" of randomly selected users (who are over 18) could vote on whether to permanently remove the content or to allow it. Flagged content could be temporarily hidden, with the reason it was flagged. I think content moderation could be done by the community flagging problematic content. I used to view Reddit as "what's popular on the internet?", but it's definitely become more "what's the Approved Narrative?" these days and though I do think there's plenty of danger content that calls for violence or is some other form of abuse, it's frustrating that there are many subs in which questioning the Approved Narrative will get censored.
We need more alternatives to Reddit with different moderation practices that allow competing narratives to surface. Like San Francisco fromwhere it originates reddit is a cesspool that if you practice active denial, selective ignorance, ignore cognitive dissonance and pretend like all the bounders, freaks, fairies, bohos, hippies, punks, transhumanists, burners, and hackers that came before that everything is beautiful man, its a great place that can still surprise and delight on occasion. High karma users sell their handle so trolls and sock puppets can have a vernier of credibility. r/sanfrancisco is endless pix of the gg bridge, thanks mods! It also divides the discourse into red team blue team with red team bad blue team good.
It is also entire subs that are heavily modded to the point of being useless. Dear summer child, it is not just the obvious product placement for Doritos. My poor colleague was incredulous when I told him reddit was gamed. “Doritos are the best for walking tacos.” “Fritos make the best walking tacos.” Lord savior Jesu i never even had heard of walking tacos until this morning but then leave it to reddit to first inform me of something new and then to tell me the specific products I should use.
