As a person who just left reddit due to being tired of reddit mods’ power tripping, I asked folks here what are their reasons behind migrating here from other forums (most likely reddit too). It seems like none of the folks who answered had complaints on reddit mods. Do folks here not feel the same about reddit mods as I do?
I heard Lemmy mods are volunteers too. How do they compare to reddit mods? Did Lemmy do anything to ensure no power abuse to happen?
In general I think of reddit mods as thin-skinned cucks on a power-trip.
Haven’t interacted with many lemmy mods, but I assume they’ll trend in the same direction. It’s a lot of work for no pay, so it’s going to attract people with ulterior motives.
My ulterior motive is I want to help grow the fediverse.
If modding here ever gets as full of behind the scenes vitriol as it was on reddit I’ll probably stop.
(I got asked to help out a few times over there but I lasted less than a month in one of the big ones. A lot of it’s glorified data sorting of some really ick stuff).
What kind of stuff?
I heard Lemmy saw increase in its users recently. When was that?
I’m not sure, probably when reddit made another stupid decision
