This is another core reason why #Lemmy and #Piefed are better than #Reddit.
On Reddit, if a head mod of a major subreddit goes toxic or starts power-tripping, the community is stuck. That mod only got control because they lucked into claiming a name like r/movies or r/pics first—and now they hold the keys.
On the #Fediverse, it doesn’t work that way. If people don’t like !movies@lemmy.world, they can move over to !movies@piefed.social. Even if lemmy.world is the biggest Lemmy server, it has no monopoly on access.
And that’s exactly what happened. People voted with their feet. Which is why !movies@piefed.social is now the most active movie community on the Fediverse.
