    I do not know if this is just my faulty random sampling, but. While there are plenty great posters in both lemmy.world and lemm.ee, I’ve been noticing that most Reddit-like posters (showing the same sort of stupidity as the one that you’re describing) are from those two instances. And well, I do predict that some of them became moderators.

    If that is correct, it’s likely because those are rather large and free-for-all instances - they got so many people at once that they were unable to properly integrate and civilise/de-reddit-ise/rationalise them. That’s an additional problem, and it might actually get worse over time because the mod hierarchy blues is likely to hit harder after ~a year.

    (I don’t have the same experience as you in Lemmy. But I’m from lemmy.ml; the admins here restricted comm creation and subscriptions, to encourage people to spread out. In the process I think that we users have dodged a bullet from this instance.)
