I think the rush to recreate communities is a bad idea. ( kbin.social )

One thing we need to break into a billion tiny dust like pieces is the idea of “Super Moderators” who control hundreds of different boards . This idea lead to the group think that infected Reddit , because when a “Super Moderator” succumbs being prejudiced then it can effect the entire site , either directly on sites the now abusive “Super Moderator” deletes all posts that challenge their prejudices , or indirectly via a chilling effect when the abusive “Super Moderator” bans people from ALL of the subreddits they control, just for interacting with subreddits they disagree with , regardless of the content of those interactions , and with zero hope for appeal since any attempt at communication will be met with silence and a mute.

Yes I am all for the idea of opposing hateful groups , but adopting their tactics and becoming just as hateful is not the way to accomplish this.

I think it's more likely @NekoKamiGuru responded in the wrong place. The above doesn't really make sense as a reply to their other comment.

The fediverse should be more resistant to this (I hope). The people in charge of instances are pretty comparable to super moderators since they both can control a lot of internet real estate. The fediverse's response to bad instance owners is to just switch to an instance that's run in a way that you like better. Or even better, make a new instance that's less bad!

If there's an instance with a problem super moderator, then the same solution should work right? Go elsewhere, or make a new magazine. If there's a single problem user dominating all communities in multiple instances, well. Time to start "@free.folk" or whatever lmao.
