I mean, the behavior of the community speaks for itself. They try so hard not being the thing they ran from three years ago, but in the midst of their attempt, they end up evolving into the very thing they ran from. Its like they just didn't like being on the platform of origin, promised they'd do better, then realizing how separated they are to where they just recreated it by instinct.

Power-Tripping Mods, Gaslighting Users, Immature Moderators, 100 Rules to follow but contradicts itself .etc

I can just go on and on and on. Oh and I don't even care about this stupid debate that happened between .ML and .World because there's virtually no difference and it is just nothing but a sissy online slapfight.

I ran from Reddit because I'm trying to avoid big US tech monopolies in favor of smaller, less monopolistic goods and services. I'm happy with drinking my local brand of cola, using European email and cloud storage providers and getting my share of news and commentary from Fediverse sources. Works out great for me.

I think power-tripping moderators is exactly what the web needs. I loved the age of bulletin boards. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I remember the quality of discourse being significantly higher on those moderated platforms. And more importantly, the number of low-quality posts, trolls etc was way lower, because someone would correctly identify bullshit and just delete it.

I agree with one caveat: that’s not power tripping. That’s just good moderation.
