Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.

What needs to be done?
If c/technology on Lemmy.world gets squatted on by a power mod that wants to power trip, that doesn’t mean anything for c/technology on Lemmy.ml or any other instance. That’s the beauty of it.
Not only that, but I’d argue the “Power Mod” still may have done us a service by getting the (IRL) community rolling.
Exactly! That’s the great thing about the whole concept of Federation; it means that if you don’t like how a community is moderated you can make your own on a different instance. And if you don’t like any of them or demand even more direct control, you can spin up your own instance.
Yeah and the instance admins can also step in as they’d like (which may drive traffic to/from their instance based on their decisions)
