Looks like another hostile takeover.

    Moderators can’t exactly do “massive migrations”. Sure they can set up shop a Kbin or Lemmy, and declare that the “official” new home, but that doesn’t mean that their communities will follow them. People read subreddits because of the submissions and the discussion, not for the mods.

    It may work for some specific niche subreddits, where the mods are some kind of official representatives of the community, like how we saw the “Jellyfin” project migrate from reddit to their own forum, but I don’t see that working for large generic subreddits like /r/pics or something.

    In a way this whole thing is a reality check for some mods too … just because you moderate a big community doesn’t mean that you are a big deal.
