A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries
One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah, currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team).
The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort, has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities.
Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?
Edit: This comment shows how this is even more dangerous than I had thought.
Edit2: Official answer from LW admin is here
Final: Was going to create an issue for this on the Lemmy github, but I browsed for awhile and found that it had already been done. If anyone wants to continue the discussion there, here it is - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452
Perhap we need another issue for the problem in the original edit (It being impossible currently to remove a ‘founding’ mod without destroying either the community of their account)
Just ban a random user each week to show you’re still active.
You have enough users to make it at least 800 weeks!
I offer myself as tribute 🥺
You have been permanently banned from [email protected] I bet you’re gutted… 😂
I’m not happy about. But I did what must be done. They will remember me.
Hey man, I just put it to a vote and the community (me) have decided to honour your sacrifice by making a new header/banner thing dedicated to you. Something real classy in MS paint maybe?
You’re too kind. The knowledge that I’ll be in the hearts and mind of the community (you), is honor enough, new friend.
Goddammit, the only option is to ban myself from one of them…
Are you really banning yourself when you’re SomeoneElse?
Gotta keep them on their toes and show them who’s boss!
