So yeah… maybe the turtle slowly waking up that he was just a Laptog for reddit and thrown away as soon as they didnt need him anymore ( moderation is allways a volunteer thing and shouldnt be like a 2nd job ).

Lol.
An actual bad person when given mod status in too many subs: “This site is great”
Site admins ban him and deny appeals
The bad person: “This site is exploitative!!”
Reddit sucks, but this is probably the one good thing to come from Reddits recent actions.
Fully agree. Power mods like him are a huge problem on reddit and I hope this will not repeat in the fediverse.
I mean, the benefit to Lemmy is that it is easy to create a new instance to replace ones controlled by power hungry mods.
Sure, I just hope it plays out like that. I can easily imagine a situation where instances or communities get too big to fail. What’s the point in creating a splinter community where 10 or 100 users migrate to when all the content and discussion takes place in the original community.
Removed by mod
Ya thats what i wonder bc that kinda happened on reddit.
Ya but how easy would it be to get people to actually move there. Even tho on Reddit theres a rule against duplicate subs there were ways around that (like “real___” or “___uncensored”) but the problem was that some ppl just didnt care about poor conduct and the replacement subs sometime ended up not taking off or being overrun by an extreme group (tho sometime it did work.) So I wonder about that here bc a lot of ppl use that to say this isnt a problem here
You dont even need to go to a new instance you can just join another comunity on a different server
trying to encourage a code of morality, as seen in my post for mildly infuriating a few days ago mentioning some of the actions these moderators had done against the community and why they are bad for the health of it.
I hope being one of the large communities it offers a template for those to follow, I might not always get it right but I hope to do my best to eliminate it here. Bad mods ruined reddit.
Bad mods weren’t the only thing contributing to the downfall of Reddit. Infact, Id argue most moderators of Reddit were genuinely good and helped foster each subreddit community in a reasonable manner. As with all things that involve humans, there will always be bad actors, but I think overall I had maybe 2 instances I can remember in all my 14 years of Reddit where a bad moderator removed content because they didnt agree with it.
It will but they’ll be server admins instead.
Hopefully no instance ever becomes too popular by itself where this will heavily affect everyone though.
