Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.
Do you think they are actively trying to become moderators of those communities or is there a chance they're trying to recreate the subreddits they're accustomed to?
there's no way to tell, but if past behavior is any indicator of future intent...
The way that the fediverse works should make it more challenging for someone to squat on communities. There are plenty of instances which means there is plenty of competition. Am I missing something?
well... people are going to be attracted to the most active community with the most subscribers. That's of ten the first to get established. Due to federation, that's persistent on all instances. So, sure, I can just create another version of Y community on B instance if it's being squatted on X community on A instance, but that doesn't mean it'll gain any traction.
