should we be worried about powers-moderators/users?
Power mods are one of the main problems with reddit. The same thing is already happening with Lemmy.
This is concerning because it allows for control of what becomes popular content.

I fully agree that if mods become a problem, there are ways to handle it.
But I strongly disagree that its reddits biggest problem. Most of the moderators there are trying their best to be fair and conductive.
You wouldn’t believe the amount of shit they have to deal with on a daily basis ans the bigotry they’re confronted with.
Anyway, I think there need to be mods here as well and they will make unpopular decisions. Try becoming one yourself and leading by example.
Fuck yes
One of the best friends I've ever had banned me from one of his subs because I was fucking with him as a prank of sorts
The guy poured his time and energy into making any sub he was associated with being as relaxed, friendly, and free of bullshit as possible.
And the dude got death threats.
Reddit ran off the best mods, the ones that really cared. Most of those came here.
Most mods are like him, they're trying to help build something good, and keep it that way. Even the ones that wield the ban hammer often tend to only do so for disruptive assholes like me.
Thank you for this. It means a lot that some people understand. :)
I was a mod for a unpopular opinion sub aimed at unpopular political opinions. It was as bad as you could imagine. At most I'd only have one or so posts a month that i didn't have to remove.
