TLDR: The r/selfhosted subreddit has a Discord server. The owner’s account got hacked leaving the server in a precarious state. They submitted a support ticket, but Discord has not taken action in weeks and probably won’t at all, so they are considering starting a new Discord server.
It does seem like wildly unregulated territory, unfortunately.
I have ideas I’ve brainstormed though:
Minimum number of moderaters once a certain user threshold has been reached (So if you have above 1k-5k users, you need a minimum of 2 or 3 mods)?
Ability to report servers for incompetent moderation?
There’s a line eventually where discord stops being a place where “friends hang out” and becomes a platform to engage with a community.
That’s the point where moderation should be regulated.
Just my two cents anyway.
