I say a short stint with a temporary mod with limited powers could be a way of seeing if we can keep the potential screenshots from journalists down to a minimum.
I mean they already gloat about 'infiltrating' Discords and subReddits and so one picture of a dead girl here and they've got their mindless sheep readers bleating about how we're all bad people.
A temporary mod could clean that shit up faster and stop more slander being chucked our way.
The fact that we have to be here due to not being able to have civil conversation elsewhere should certainly be at the top of anyone's list wondering why we are here. Maybe if the authoritarian Left were quite so much of Nazis we could resolve our conflicted opinions in a reasonable matter. But no, we have to make best with what we have for being outed from the web we made popular because of Nancy no-pals.
I'd go for a temporary mod just to see how it goes. Would be interesting to rotate temporary mods. In a way, "here it's your turn to clean up the shit this month."
Where I get concerned is just handing the reins to autists just like Reddit but with different values. Most of the old school of Reddit mods didn't start out with ill intent, they just can't help themselves after a certain point. Then before you know it, all kinds of deletes just because they think they are helping. In which case, I'd really prefer deal with a mod that doesn't come around all that much and a block button.
I've not been that bothered though, I just ignore and move on for the most part. The only thing I might do is restrict handshakes from top-level posts.
I'm certainly not the one to be filling in the position of moderator but I think a rotation with a select few is a reasonable enough idea.
I'm more concerned with those highly ethical journalists showing up and reporting on what is occasionally posted here (But never upvoted) and using it as slander against us as a consumer right group.
Particularly since ever single one of them is complicit to lying to their consumers about verifiable facts.
Some more people with the powers to remove content which is only here to shock with gore factor qualities is a good idea.
Now the whole Israel/Palestine stuff, that's a different story but that's also another conversation.
