    Eh, it’s not that the moderators are out of control on Reddit. It’s that they’re under control… by a single corporation.

    A moderator here could potentially move their community to another instance if the owner of the instance tries the asshattery that Reddit Corp does.

    Users choose the communities that have mods that are cool, the mods choose the instance that’s owned by someone that’s cool. The second half of that sentence isn’t true for reddit which turns it into a top down power dynamic.

      Eh there are also power mods on the platform that have a lot of control over loads of large communities there who are an issue in Of themselves in the ways they can control or stifle narratives on the site.
