Let's be honest, some mods were too happy with the power they had to completely leave the platform.

They can always mod on .world for the same.

Look at the mods of the major communities and see how much overlap there is.

That's it? One mod has too many communities?

(To be clear, I don't care if someone has 80 tiny warhammer communities. Only the major ones.)

You asked for an example, I provided it.

And while we're discussing, it's one of the main reasons while I'm always promoting non-Lemmy.world communities.

I wouldn't have that much of an issue if LW was just centralized, but having this kind of aggressive, power tripping mods so high in the organization just doesn't inspires trust.

I'm happy to discuss about LW admins about technicalities, but moderation wise this is still an issue.

And I know I'm not the only one, power tripping of LW is regularly brought up on !fedigrow@lemmy.zip when we decide where to consolidate communities.

If you want LW to be considered a trustworthy instance, please address that problem. Having that mod step down from 2 of the 3 communities above ( the 3 of them being in the top 6 of the most active communities on the platform https://lemmyverse.net/communities?order=active ) would be a sign of good faith.

Without that, expect people to bring threads like the one above on a regular basis to try to redirect people to non LW communities
