    Reddit Mods were never good. They were some of the worst people on Reddit. The admins are the only people worse than the mods.

      For a lot of the big subs, sure. But every mod I encountered in the hobby/food/gardening subs were good and ran good spaces.

        I can’t figure out where all the lemmy people posting about reddits “power tripping power mods” were posting. I think I ran across one mod in the wild (niche sub) that I thought was crazy and they got run off the platform eventually. What were people posting that they were getting banned all over the place? Maybe the mods weren’t the problem if multiple were banning you?

        you’re cool :)

        What I said applies to big subreddit mods. I think most niche or small subreddit mods were great.

      Seriously, 90% of Reddit mods are on a power trip, they permanently ban you and mute you instantly at the slightest transgression or if they just don’t like you. Also, everyone single one of them claims to be one of the good ones, lol.

          All sweeping generalizations are bad!

        90% of mods did non obvious work like stopping spammers from overrunning subs.

        If you think they all ban for fun then the problem is you.

        Most mods tend to follow the quantity of reports they receive from the community. If you post something that triggers lots of random users… then you are screwed.

        And yes, that also happens on Lemmy… as much as folks around here consider it as a “holy ground filled with saints”. :^)

        t. A mod threatened to ban me because I was “spamming” – while I was posting once per day.

        Ah, but when a subreddit had mostly mods from that 10%, <chef’s kiss>

        AskHistorians, AskScience, WhatIsThisThing, etc.

        Maybe this is another example of Sturgeon’s law.

          Don’t know, I stopped visiting WhatIsThisThing after an encounter with a really trippy mod that handed out bans like candy. But maybe they got kicked and striped of their role

        That’s the case for every sub with a political undertone.

        Most subs for your favourite hobby is usually nice. Unless your hobby is US politics, believing walking dogs 5 hours a week is a job, or inventing a patriarchal society to tear down.
