When I think of how not to moderate, Reddit’s /r/Bitcoin comes to mind, since one moderator there has exercised some extreme censorship. With Steemit’s Communities, people can adjust their feeds, so if a moderator is being a fascist, then users would just vote with their feet and move on.
Isn't that how reddit works too? Last time I checked, reddit allows you to subscribe/unsubscribe freely.
Yes, I think the Communities would be similar to how Reddit works. I wasn't suggesting they will be better necessarily (though the rewards create a somewhat different dynamic). For those who didn't understand the Communities idea fully, I was trying to explain that users are free to move about.
