I find it hilarious that the stereotypical reddit power hungry mod turned into the indentured servant hero standing up against a greedy corporation.
Mods might be a bunch of neckbeards, but it's better than being a bunch of corporate neckbeards.
Reddit mods might be a bunch of power hungry assholes, but at least they are still people, not multimillionaires!
The overwhelming vast majority of mods are not power mods and did it because they liked their communities. They're good people who worked hard to make a safe, fun place for others.
When awkward turtle got banned, they were happy too.
Most people have no clue what a mod is, so it just becomes whatever people want to imagine.
I find it weird that people fighting for something they built is seen as being power hungry and those trying force them into submission are ignored.
Mods of smaller subreddits are generally passionate about a specific hobby. It's the "power mods" who moderate like 100+ subreddits (especially the popular and default subs) that are clearly power tripping.
Lol true
