We’re going to allow some “flat earth” comments. We’re going to force some moderators to accept some “flat earth” comments
You… like this? Glad I’m not a mod, this is how places like Reddit became what they are today. Opinions should be allowed, but admins should be able to moderate blatant falsehoods.
Reddit is a living emblem of the problem this is trying to solve so I have no idea what you mean.
Mods can’t be trusted to enforce the truth. It’s far too complicated and they invariably end up enforcing their own distorted view of the world instead.
We’ve already run into problems with that where mods banned people talking about Israeli war crimes as “misinformation”. Despite it being headline news.

So that’s obviously not a great system.
Policy sentiments aside, wow that post is so up it’s own ass. There was definitely a more concise way to communicate the change.
