Serious question, as I‘ve barely seen any mention of Lemmy on Reddit. None of the Mod posts regarding the Blackout mentioned Lemmy as far as I‘m aware. Would it be against the TOS to start a coordinated promotion?

I acknowledge that I have probably an unfairly dim view of mods. I’m sure some are amazing, but certainly many are self-obsessed power trippers. They act in their own interests to preserve control rather than acting in the interest of the community.

You're not alone. I absolutely detest Reddit mods for this. I only hope Lemmy doesn't turn out that way for what I consider to be egregious acts of injustice when I participate in good faith.

It's inevitable that some communities and some instances will be run this type of fief lord, but I suspect that the fediverse will support a more diverse range of cultures, just by virtue of there being more to choose from.
