I started/run a old and moderately popular sub (top 100 in sports) and haven’t noticed any issues that we haven’t dealt with before.

We shut down during the blackout so it’s not like it’s all been easy.

I got stock a couple years ago, that’s about it and I thought that was nice having been on Reddit since 2006 or whatever.

That said we’re not a trash sub and take moderation extremely seriously.

I’d argue moderators taking themselves too seriously is precisely reddits problem, but okay.

		Good online communities have active and engaged moderation. That said, Reddit moderation seems stuck in a weird limbo where moderators have a lot of power on paper but completely ineffectual tooling to combat organized and systemic abuse. Given those limitations I find it hard to imagine Reddit modding ending up any other way.

		Judge for yourself but I’m extremely proud of our community /r/ultramarathon We have a thriving supportive community that has been a support group for 100 thousand people that run or want to learn to run ultramarathons
