Clearly you haven’t been here for long. It’s been terrible mods for years now.

We don’t need Reddit’s power tripping back

Do you really expect the platform that lets anybody form their personal power tripping fiefdom to inexplicably not draw those people in? No centralization doesn’t mean you’re free of the particular flavor of power tripping you experienced, it means there are many cells of various levels of power tripping with little to no oversight.

My hope for the Fediverse is, sure. We can just allow people to be sad little kings of their sad little hills. If it’s enough of a problem, everyone else can go to some other community, possibly on some other instance.

The federative structure of the fediverse means that your average community moderator is way more accountable than a subreddit moderator is on reddit, to be fair.

In theory maybe, but have we actually seen a community migrate away from a sub or the admins step in because of power tripping?

Yeah, I saw one that got so ugly, IIRC one admin stepped in to say “hi”. It was the split between the c/Risa mod and some commenters, leading the rise of c/TenForward. Was this a year and a half ago?!
