MODERATORS
It's "starting off" by being flooded with admins and mods* from reddit, many of which didn't listen to their communities and were power hungry. Lemmy today is basically reddit 2.0 but with growing pains and teething issues.
Could you say some examples? I've seen a lot of people mention they're ex mods, but haven't seen any moderation issues yet.
Mods and admins will always be like this, this is not a Reddit thing. The trouble is the people who want to moderate a community are the type who generally "want the power". It's a people not a technology issue and unfortunately not one that can be solved.
Do you mean admins or mods?
Sorry I meant to say admins and mods.
No worries, just clarifying. It would've been happy news if the admins were leaving their overlords.
