Don't worry, PuttItOut is devising some new scheme which seems to be allowing the users of a sub to somehow choose the moderators of the sub. I assume that means popularly-elected mods and an end to powermodding and sub squatting by unpopular fagmods.
It's an excellent point. Seems extremely reminiscent of democratic republic versus an oligarchy. https://youtu.be/fLJBzhcSWTk This short video may yield some insight into some of the view, I have much more that illustrates vital components on the topic and beyond. https://youtu.be/-MzxC8Mqupw This may also help illustrate some important things.
The bottom line to me is, democratic republics may not be perfect, I know this with certainty there can be issues involved and corruption, but I know of no better system. The only other alternative I can come up with, and I am strongly considering doing this, is merely creating an alternative subreddit and simply swaying people away from this one.

Are you surprised? We saw how the mods of this sub think they can act all last week.

The surprising thing is they aren't unmodded.

That sounds awesome.

I would also mean it's possible to brigade a good mod - yet unpopular with "the man" - out of position.
Mob rule is not always effective given the ability to re-direct a mob where you wish

Why not. If you feel that strongly you should do it.
