Yeah, it’s funny to see this be heralded as a good/wholesome thing when I know back on Reddit it was maligned as “power users”.

The difference is probably that here if you disagree with admins, mods or power users you can just migrate your community to another instance.

Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn't as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn't monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they're just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they're just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy's prolific posters. o7
