“Letting quality sift to the top” implies that there is a way for this to happen without curation.
Pure user vote driven things like Reddit are a failure (echo chambers, emotional appeals, bot rings, etc). So I’m curious what you think would let that happen?
Even HN is heavily moderated to maintain topics.
Moderation is not amplification.
What do you call the moderators reposting stories they think would be good on the front page to “give them another chance”?
Not moderation? That's curation.
