Anyone know of any total open source servers with no admin or mod interference in communities? Many of us left reddit due to mod micromanagement of content and want a truly open source platform

I see what you're saying, but ultimately it's a reputation thing. There will be a moderation team who hits your sweet spot of hands off versus removing annoying content.

From a programmatic perspective designing infrastructure where people can't remove things leads to the anarchy of usenet.

But I'm hopeful that you will find a group that follows your moderation objectives and you can verify it like looking at the mod log. So it's going to be all reputation anyway

Is usenet a server in lemmy? Or a sep platform all together?

Usenet is a network communication system developed in the early 1980s. Way older than Lemmy, older than even the world wide web.

It still runs to this day, but much like moss isely it's a hive of scum and villainy.

I'm sure there's some holdout discussions still happening there, but it's mostly binary postings for piracy nowadays
