Comment on Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media
bandario@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoIn many cases I believe SOMEONE is paying these supermods.
It’s more about controlling public discourse than it is any sense of moral compass IMO.
It’s a fairly cheap way to control the narrative on just about whatever you like if you can steer acceptable speech around hot button issues on such a large platform.

idk, I was in a Discord with many of them during the vaxxhappened protest and I didn’t get the impression any had particularly strong backbones. Not saying it doesn’t happen but I really have a hard time picturing most of the “powermods” as having the will to control anything. They (largely) seemed pretty afraid to rock the boat or upset Spez.
