Of course. The question in the title isn't exactly the one I was trying to ask, but it is close. In my mind there is a difference between content moderation, which enforces the ToS and removes illegal content, and curation, which is more about community preference.

Clearly there are some things that dang needs to remove for legal reasons. And the same goes for Reddit, some things just can't be hosted.

But when it comes to curation, which is the subjective judgment that a post or comment is either fit or not fit to be posted, do we need a singular moderator (or group of moderators) to enforce this? Is there any real issue with allowing multiple sets of curators for the same dataset? If we're trying to escape the fiefdoms of Reddit, I think we also need to escape the "law" that moderator teams and communities must be one to one.

Starting to think his account is shared by a small team of people. He has to sleep like all of us, you know? And when you have his pattern-of-life documented on HN, you can discern when he sleeps, but his account is active 24/7 so there has to be a team.
