If the ads allow me to comment and say “your product sucks” then I don’t mind.

How does that work? Which server banned you?

Or maintain a flat general rate across the board for all mods … make it a liveable wage so that it is worth it to everyone.

Within a few years almost all of reddit’s mods would be from China or other 3rd world country.

Revert to the source code of about 10 years ago and get rid of most programmers. The only positive change in the last 10 years is the ability of users to ban people from harassing you.

Allow all subs to identify other subs they are similar too, and link all that information together so that users who don’t like how sub is moderated can find an official list of alternative subs.

Allow only temporary bans, not permanent bans from mods. Admins can still give permanent bans for bad faith or dishonest actors and should do so for foreign governments trying to influence other countries.

Allow subs to optionally require flair identifying citizenships and if you are found to be dishonest you can get site ban.

Get rid of certain pieces of automod functionality that subtract value for the users of the site.

“[moderators] may be able to leverage their influence within those communities to change the dynamics of the discourse within the communities or to disrupt the normal operation of their communities or other communities on our platform.”

And they can give you rando-bans out of nowhere, suddenly cutting you off from your topic of interest and exposing serious flaws with the entire site.

There are 2 kinds of people who get banned. People who actually deserve it and people who get rando-bans. A rando-ban is something you have no control over. It is caused by things like unwritten rules, nonsensical rules, or the unpaid intern mods having a bad day. Things that a warning could have easily taken care of. Lemmy cannot give you a rando-ban, but if you actually deserve a ban than multiple people can come together and do it.

My first rando-ban on reddit was posting too much content from the Washington Post. Even though I was only posting about 1 article per month I was “spamming”. It is wonderful knowing that on lemmy/kbin I can finally start submitting content again without risking a rando-ban.

I don’t give a crap about the API. Reddit’s system of rando-bans are a fatal flaw to its usefullness.
