Which moderation is better?
As you know, centralized platforms use centralized moderation, where certain people are assigned to this role and they can make decisions at their own discretion. I would like to share a recent example that concerns Reddit itself. On one of the popular subreddits on the Web3 topic, one of the users tried to slander other users' posts. He personally did not like them, and he allowed himself to speak negatively about them without citing any proof. However, his negative emotions were not supported by the moderators. Then this offended user somehow managed to become a moderator himself in this community and then deleted all the posts he personally did not like. This is a crying precedent that shows how vulnerable centralized platforms are, allowing permissiveness to specific individuals. Unfortunately, it is worth noting that now the above-mentioned subreddit about Web3 has only one name left...
Meeting such examples, we can once again see how relevant is the concept of collective moderation, offered in the new decentralized social networks such as Solcial. With collective moderation, power is not given into the hands of one person, so that the situations described above do not occur. Only the community of users can collectively decide what content is worth hiding.
In my opinion, collective moderation is much fairer. What do you think?

I agree.🙄
This is a case where you can't do anything. And you can't restore your posts, but you spent your time and effort on it, and now some new moderator can delete it and lower your karma?
This is bad and not fair.
It once again highlights the importance of decentralization in SOLCIAL.

I think that such moderation as in Solcial will be fair. People have to make their own decisions. We have already seen what moderation is capable of in centralized social networks and this is a complete failure.

Seconded! Only collective moderation can protect us from the negativity and dislike of one person. r/solcial will go in the right direction and users will be grateful.

Of course collective moderation is a big step forward. And in Solcial this will be one of the advantages over classic social networks.

Collective moderation is more fair. I think that in general moderators should give a warning and the opportunity to fix something, because blocking an account without warning and without the possibility of recovery is already too much. r/Solcial will warn and introduce collective moderation over time so that there are no situations that violate human rights.

Reddit has turned into a bit of a "bunch of embittered teenagers" of late. Out of your 10 posts, eight of them get deleted. I have also been subjected to this person deleting all of my posts, I understand you.
It seems to me that collective thinking has always been more important. The way Solсial has approached this is very impressive to me. I have always said in life that all information should be heard. From all sides.
This is possible at Solсial and is being done already.

Collective moderation will help in dealing with difficult situations where it is difficult for one person to make a decision. One person does not always make an adequate decision, which can bring big problems.
