MODERATORS
The hive mind might already be here, depending on who you ask. I was already left/progressive, though, so it just feels like hanging out with like-minded people.
Jerks I can do without, but they’re unavoidable. Simply not engaging with them seems to work best.
I feel like to a point it might be, but to a point in today's age and internet - everything is an echo chamber so it's turned into a "pick ypur poison" kind of thing.
That being said, open discourse and actual conversation seems more prevalent and easier to come by here then on reddit which is very nice.

Outrageous and inflammatory comments just to karma farm if that's even a thing here.
Too late. They all already came, minus the centralization issue.
All that wholesome keanu chungus shit, wholesome 100.
Any kind of automated moderation. If you can't do the job you volunteered to do, don't volunteer. If you need more hands and eyes, recruit more mods.
