View submission: Reddit's Decline in Democracy
Even so, pointing out that several popular subreddits that really should be community-run are moderator-run (and they may possibly have a hidden agenda). This is particularly worrisome in r/politics and r/worldnews where the potential for partisan abuse is quite high.
Yes, I know, "subreddits are communities not categories" but the Reddit staff really should have snapped up some of the more obvious ones.
(Caveat: I have created one subreddit (r/tf2) and am the sole moderator of it- never had to do any moderating though. If Reddit sent me a message tomorrow saying Valve wanted control of it I'd gladly do so.)
