    We don't think that top-down moderation is the way to go.

I have yet to figure out how Hubski works, but that's what I didn't like about Voat. If their goal, as they say, is a place where "no legal subject in this universe should be out of bounds", then all-powerful user moderators are the wrong choice. They will have the same problems, that Reddit has.
