    But they chose a nonstandard moderation strategy that limited their ability to scale moderation with users. The default system is that communities are moderated independently of admins (not saying admins donā€™t form communities or that thereā€™s no overlap between admins and mods) whereas on beehaw only the admins can create communities and therefore are the primary moderators.

    Now Iā€™m not saying that thereā€™s anything inherently wrong with the system theyā€™ve chosen but the fact that it is nonstandard and in fact built into the core precept of beehaw means that this was easily foreseen.

      Easily forseen if you knew that lemmy was suddenly going to have a hundred times as many users in the space of a couple weeks. That was the thing no one was prepared for though.

          lemmy.ml has a completely different idea of how it wants to be run. That happens to have been hurt a lot less by a sudden massive influx of new users, but that wasnā€™t the reason it was different. What do you even think beehaw could have done that would have better given their goals?
