#32Another day and another nail in another awesome online community that has terrible leadership. Where will the communities move to? What new areas of the Internet will be created?
This reminds me of the Great Digg Migration. If there was ever a time to promote Mastadon, it's now.

Eg, https://www.reddit.com/r/Brooklyn/ , should not be own by one person that decides what to do.

Unless you only use Reddit in a Google-result-and-bounce fashion, your reddit experience is directly shaped by the mods (unpaid) work, especially on the larger subs.
The mods grow and nurture the community. Reddit just provides the infrastructure, and a poor one at that, which is the reason for so many apps (including mod tools) are needed.

That is exactly how reddit works. Reddit does not compensate the mods.. this is a minor compensation that they get to maintain their fiefdom. Don't like it, create a new sub.
