We’ve had plenty of questions about what people miss from reddit that Lemmy had, or what they hope doesn’t come to Lemmy from reddit in future, but do you miss from the earlier days, before reddit that you would like to come back?

    I miss (at least some aspects of) Slashdot’s moderation system, especially:

    • the ability to provide reasons for the moderation (e.g. expressing the difference between +1, funny and +1, insightful), and
    • metamoderation (voting on whether moderation actions were justified).

    (It’s worth noting that other important aspects of Slashdot’s moderation system were that the range of comment scores was bounded to the range [-1, 5] and that users only had a limited number of modpoints that they were awarded occasionally based on karma, so the aspects I liked may or may not transfer well to different contexts like Reddit or Lemmy-style upvoting/downvoting.)
