As others have said this is a much smaller place and I guess everyone had it's own experience, but in the end users (including moderators) are humans, and you will find here the same issues you found on reddit except one:

• if you think the rules are wrong you can change instance, while for reddit, well you have to leave reddit as a whole.

on top of the other answer: you don't even need to do that, that is what a thermostat is for...

yeah but monitoring and controlling are two different things: you can have a monotoring system and e-mail / alarms going off in case of issues, and attackers can't do shit but looking at temperature.

But when would you ever need to change the temperature remotely is my question.
