Power mods are one of the main problems with reddit. The same thing is already happening with Lemmy.

This is concerning because it allows for control of what becomes popular content.

Fuck yes

One of the best friends I've ever had banned me from one of his subs because I was fucking with him as a prank of sorts

The guy poured his time and energy into making any sub he was associated with being as relaxed, friendly, and free of bullshit as possible.

And the dude got death threats.

Reddit ran off the best mods, the ones that really cared. Most of those came here.

Most mods are like him, they're trying to help build something good, and keep it that way. Even the ones that wield the ban hammer often tend to only do so for disruptive assholes like me.
