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)

I think you guys have done a pretty kickass job. And your team's responsiveness with the big issues has been enough to impress my cynical ass. Appreciate you guys.

Ha! Decided to go with my gamertag on Lemmy, which I created like 17 years ago around the age of 14.

Was inspired by this old (now cringeworthy..) OG flash video from the early days of the internet.

My gamertag was suganutz so I don't know what is worse
