At least on the communities i follow. Every so often I come across a thread where i recognize most of the users there even in the big communities with over 30k members and I haven’t even been on lemmy that long.

    I find it kind of creepy. And, ultimately, because of the legacy of things like power(mad) mods, disappointing. Excessive participation leads to possessiveness and all that

      On the other hand, someone has to get the ball rolling so that other people join, it’s like being the first one on the dancefloor.

      Power tripping is indeed bad, and should be reported on [email protected]

      Well I mean, be the change you want to see then, post more. Other than that, you really won’t find any online communities without the occasional power hungry mods, that’s just the sad reality that power corrupts.
