I mean, the behavior of the community speaks for itself. They try so hard not being the thing they ran from three years ago, but in the midst of their attempt, they end up evolving into the very thing they ran from. Its like they just didn’t like being on the platform of origin, promised they’d do better, then realizing how separated they are to where they just recreated it by instinct.
Power-Tripping Mods, Gaslighting Users, Immature Moderators, 100 Rules to follow but contradicts itself .etc
I can just go on and on and on. Oh and I don’t even care about this stupid debate that happened between .ML and .World because there’s virtually no difference and it is just nothing but a sissy online slapfight.
Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think most of us came here to leave the community of Reddit, just the admins/corporate decisions.
Dumb rules and power tripping mods have been a thing across every community on the internet and will be forever.
Yeah but there’s a distinct difference and you can tell a Reddit-like way of moderating within a mile. They just can’t handle pretty much anything and they act moreso on their own personal belief, even believing their own interpretation of the rules they set up and expect people to follow than the actual reality of the matter.
A normal functioning moderator wouldn’t cater to every little pettiness and resort to prissy levels.
Unpaid moderators should have the freedom to act according to their personal preferences. If moderation becomes a problem, the platform’s federated structure also facilitates creating alternative communities.
