What if this person comes to Lemmy or kbin and becomes a mod...yes, I'm asking the inevitable question.

Easy. Kbin/lemmy admins actually listen to their users, unlike spez and his cronies. The asshole can move to their own instance and continue there, but that might get them defederated.

Reddit wasn't like that all the time. I do remember a time on Reddit where it was - or at least felt like it - a bit like it feels on Lemmy right now. Lots of nerdy outsider communities and admins who seemed to care. Not trying to be a negative nancy here, just a reality check or something like that.

Federation is over-hyped when joining or promoting. It's only really important when there's a problem.

It's like trying to sell a new car by featuring the warranty, or trying to sell a computer by talking about backups. Both important, but not a shiny selling point for new users.

I get why the devs want to feature federation. If you build a car, you're probably going to want to talk about the engine and its design. But the users just want "car go fast".

Reddit was always kind of shitty, but it's waaaay shittier now compared to 10 years ago.
