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.

    I’m not understanding your concern. If there’s a powertripping moderator that’s causing trouble there are options. The group can split and migrate elsewhere, just like the reddit migrants have who came here.

    The fediverse is much harder to consolidate tightly. There are 5 New Zealand communities for example spread across the fediverse currently. One is large and the rest are tiny. If the mod/admin for the large one started being a dick the users would move elsewhere after a lot of whining. This was not as easy on reddit because there could only be one /r/newzealand. Currently there is [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], New [email protected].

    If there was a powertripping moderator on a large group like [email protected] the site admins can remove that mod if it was causing trouble for the overall site.
