No. Mods were born out of corporate and political interest to control mass media. Nothing more. Mods are there to convert digital spaces to align with their interest. They’re there to prevent people from actually forming another Egyptian spring, wiki leaks, anonymous or anything that could disrupt the current power structure.
Few years ago it was an issue since someone spammed CSAM that it got federated to multiple servers and it took concentrated effort from community mods and instance admins to solve the issue.
Automation plus mods are there to handle CSAM. Mods should be a nuclear option. But again give communities more control. Mods are not uphold an ever growing list of vague rules like cops who arrest and beat citizens for “resisting arrest”. It’s a system of abuse.
But ask yourself who has massive amounts of CSAM to randomly post across the internet to force an expansion of measure and control. Sounds a lot like something we know governments do.
For decade I’ve heard this defense that if mods weren’t there, we’d have CSAM in every corner of the internet. Much like if we didn’t have American military invading rural villages and dropping bombs on schools then we wouldn’t have any freedoms.
Look at reddit. We only found out a little bit of who mods were. Some were powerful people. Some were just marketing teams. It’s control. If you’re all leftist and you support mods you’re a class traitor.

How would you handle the CSAM issue though?
