Yes you can go elsewhere, but you lose your identity, history, relationship and reputation.

None of that is ~~imperative~~ important* to me on a place like this.

You have almost 900 post, 9000 comments and you moderate 16 communities. You are a member of the delegate class whose intrinsic power comes from trapping users into their instances and communities by holding their account, history and relationships hostage.

You can prove me wrong and prove there is no friction to escaping your control by leaving the server sh.itjust.works

Consider yourself called out.

If I could hide the count I would

and you moderate 16 communities.

Yeah, and like half of them are niche with little to no other posters. Not exactly a powerful position. There's a couple big ones that no one else was volunteering to help with. But I'm by no means I power mod. I want to help communities grow. Not police people. I wasn't a mod on reddit if that's what you're thinking.

I don't understand how you think I'm doing this? By being too active? If anything that should make people take me less seriously lol.

For no reason other than what's essentially a dare? I like the admins. And as pointed out I am active, it's not like reddit where I could make a new acct and blend in as a new user. If I had a real reason to move I wouldn't mind.

Consider yourself called out.

Nah
