Yeah. I get it. It's just so limiting. It's not sold as "the forum where God like admins get to say exactly how things go an malleate at their willing". Even forums had people do their own stuff without breaking or mass banning every 5 minutes.

Your last point on "this is no different to reddit" is amazing. Yes. It's different. Right now it's worse. Less people who contributeless and destroy the shape and userbase of the network everytime they don't fully get their way.

It's really looking worse. In subs, mods with power trips could be easily replaced. Here you need an account per instance and the subs get fractured.

I thought it was just beehaw but holy hell the entitled attitude to not have to listen to any type of dissent ever. Don't worry, you won't be exposed to too many users. You'll get your wish.
