MODERATORS
No mod abuse, you say?
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
LOL 😭
At least we can distance ourselves from that and create our own communities.
Some events like these still give me hope: https://lemmy.cafe/post/12094663
TL;DR
Admin abuse by the blahaj mods triggered mod abuse by the 196 mod, all because one popular troll in the .blahaj space demanded everyone call them "dragonfucker" instead of "they/them" ( I wish I was kidding )
The 196 community now is split between .blahaj and .world, depending on which internet janitor personally wronged them.
You forget to mention the !196 mods never asked their community about moving.
Anyway the fact that the communities could move and exist elsewhere in the same platform with minimum friction is a sign that this place is much better than Reddit. Over there, if you disagree with the admins, there's nowhere to go.
I also didn't mention that the blahaj admins never asked about banning half the users off of the most popular community in the instance.
But yeah the fediverse is better than reddit, just commenting that internet janitors will trip on the smallest amount of power. But it is nice the structure of these spaces can allow communities to grow past the inevitable petty power trips.
Oh god not dragonfucker. They’re just trolling, right?
And maybe even that mod
