In every community, there is always another power-hungry asshole ready to jump on the opportunity to have a tiny bit of control over somebody else.

Mods not modding is nothing new to reddit. The only impact they would feel is if users stopped posting. I don't see that happening though.

It won't. Most people are not lemmy users, not aware of the issues, they just consume content. Others will take up the reigns and the place will be noticably worse for those of us who care about community. Those who care about consuming content will not.

That's what we tried during fuck spez protests. Spez kicked the mods off and enacted new ones. Which makes mods shitty or kicks good mods out and enact shitty mods.

It would become Twitter.
