A comment on Reddit rolls out community currencies on Ethereum. Parent comment

This is almost certainly a storm in a teacup.

I saw this and went to check - in the few subs i confirmed, they are not top mods. Top mods have the actual power, to assume that they are setting the agenda for every sub by being the 14th mod out of 28, or the 9th and so on is impossible, given how fractious moderating teams can be.

Drama is leaking into HN without anyone doing a sanity check on the claims.

>Drama is leaking into HN

This is the most important comment on this page. The reasons for this are varied, but it's pretty obvious that cultural changes have occurred on HN during this pandemic.

I think they’ve been here for a while, personally.

The undercurrent has always been there, but the degree of normalization appears to be cycling.

Except you are not correct.

Right now, criticizing any of the “default mods” will get you banned, making any post like the one I referenced will be deleted, Reddit is engaging in censorship like they never have before.

Take a look at r/WatchRedditDie/ and tell me how it’s nothing.

Because you always get banned for meta drama.

That’s not even new.

That is also moving the goal posts- exactly the kind of stuff you see on Reddit and not on HN.

The point was about the claim- ‘ 5 people “controlling Reddit” ‘ and how it’s been absorbed and discussed without reflection.

Not about default mods banning people for meta drama.
