Heavy moderation also creates a meritocracy where reputable users who post a lot will have their content passed through the filter seamlessly and new contributors will be walled off completely in order to support the status quo. Let's not forget reddit has a deep history of moderator abuse.

I think that's one of the biggest problems on reddit: There's no way to remove moderators, and so subs can easily be subverted by having a small group of bad actors enter the mod team, or just having the mods get burnt out.
Also Minor thing: I think you guys are taking about r/Askhistorians, not r/Askhistory

>There's no way to remove moderators
Of course there is. Any moderator can be removed by another moderator higher on the list. There's just no way for non-moderators to hold a coup d'état and remove moderators they don't like.
