    Lemmy.world sure seems full of the “Reddit Mod” types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.

      I see your point, but it wasn’t really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed

        Admins are the main culprits, but mods removing posts organizing migration to Lemmy also have a share of responsibility in the situation.

          By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you’re arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.

            Commenter above you said that typical “Reddit mods” killed Reddit.

            You say it was the admins.

            I’m saying that the mods could have helped save the “original Reddit spirit” by facilitating the transition to Lemmy, like !ich_iel@feddit.org and !melbourne@aussie.zone did.

            Mods who removed posts suggesting to transitioning to Lemmy were accomplices, probably because they didn’t want to lose the power on their subs.
