In fairness to them, they've massively outgrown the subreddit format and are only there because of legacy reasons and inertia.

It's so uniquely and heavily moderated, it's one of the few communities where it would make more sense to spin off into it's own site where everything is custom made for them as opposed to continuing to jam reddit's square mod tools into their circular requirements.

I like Lemmy for the few weeks I've been here, but the nascent moderation tools are even less appropriate for that particular sub than even reddit post-July 1st nerf.
