MODERATORS
 

A good example is https://lemmy.world/c/documentaries

One of their mods, https://lemmy.world/u/sabbah, currently mods 54 communites despite only being on Lemmy for about a month and has never posted on c/documentaries (except for his post asking for people to join his mod team).

The other mod, https://lemmy.world/u/AradFort, has one post to c/documentaries and moderates 18 communities.

Does Lemmy.World have a plan to remove this kind of cancer before we start getting reddit supermods here too?

Edit: This comment shows how this is even more dangerous than I had thought.

Edit2: Official answer from LW admin is here

Final: Was going to create an issue for this on the Lemmy github, but I browsed for awhile and found that it had already been done. If anyone wants to continue the discussion there, here it is - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3452

Perhap we need another issue for the problem in the original edit (It being impossible currently to remove a 'founding' mod without destroying either the community of their account)

Like, ok, but what's stopping you from posting in those comms? You don't need to be a mod for that.

I've made a few comms, some took off, some didn't...

Why would something be stopping them from posting?

[–] WhoRoger -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, that's why I'm asking what the deal is. I mean I get that someone hoarding subs is uncool, but it's not stopping the sub from functioning (unless it's locked).

Who said it's stopping the sub from functioning?

I get that someone hoarding subs is uncool

So you know your questions are stupid?
