They only have 4 admins and don't allow users to create communities. It's highly curated, but also can't handle the influx of users from other instances until they have better mod tools, or change their position.
The solution was to ask for more volunteer mods, not the nuclear option.
Its surpassing how much they want to control what other people see.
100% agree, and their need for control is a huge red flag. I don't really want them federated tbh. Already they are trying to use their control over several large communities to influence other instances policies.
Which they have been doing. They added a bunch of mods to local communities. But it just wasn't enough, according to them.
Well that's what they've said from the beginning. They wanted a more curated and friendly instance, rather than having the old reddit culture.
Sounds like they just need to add a few temp mods.
