What matters to you most? I’m not sure I know the answer myself, but I’m curious what you all think.

    good and consistent moderation is important. a lot about what I didn’t like about reddit is that bad actors would creep into otherwise friendly places and be disruptive bullies. subreddit rules and site wide rules against that sort of thing, against hate-speech/racism/lgbtq-phobic remarks were ignored, and the the whole sub would be taken over by nazis because the mods never took action in the beginning to nip it in the bud.

    now, a lot of reddit is crawling with really nasty people spewing disinformation, propaganda, and hate speech of every kind, and attempts to even report abuse will get you temp bans for “abuse of the report function”.

      I agree. Also, moderation by non-anonymous users. The best places on the internet have mods that are users themselves. That way, users aren’t just encouraged to follow rules, but generally act like they want to be there.
