As a person who just left reddit due to being tired of reddit mods’ power tripping, I asked folks here what are their reasons behind migrating here from other forums (most likely reddit too). It seems like none of the folks who answered had complaints on reddit mods. Do folks here not feel the same about reddit mods as I do?

I heard Lemmy mods are volunteers too. How do they compare to reddit mods? Did Lemmy do anything to ensure no power abuse to happen?

    Depending on your instance, the mod absolute power isn’t necessarily true

      I meant of a specific community.

        Depending on your instance, the mods might not have absolute power. In some instances they might dethrone mods who face a rebellion or whatever

          Ah right, yeah that makes sense, didn’t think about instances like that.
