Their structure is probably more a consequence of "The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ Are full of passionate intensity", ie - In trying to create an environment without 'oppressive' centralization, they create an environment dominated by 'warlords'/cliques. Reddits democratic nature is undermined by its granting of more power to groups/individuals who are more involved and have their own agenda (subreddit/vote brigading being a good example here: most people dont' participate in it, but it has a big effect).

Social pressure to discourage bad behavior with no threat of violence is preferable to trying to coerce people with force.
Unmoderated communication methods are an extension of libertarian philosophy and like all other instances works just fine until there's a group that's not an in group.

I feel like you could make a better place than reddit/4chan if you could limit the ability of small, dedicated groups to brigade/drive discussion in the direction they want. The reality is the existence of people like /pol/ posters, and the willingness of those members to project their misanthropic abrasiveness everywhere else, is what drives bald-faced racism to be socially acceptable on 4chan. And don't say 'it just ironic', it's not, ironic racism is possible to do but is distinguishable from actual racism to people with a brain, you're not fooling anyone.
