It seems the model where they encouraged volunteer moderators to be in charge of their own corner of reddit is coming back to haunt them. I assume this is why lemmy is so vibrant right now. Most internet users are sheep but the people fleeing reddit are the sub-section who actually do stuff on social media, not just consume. I wonder if reddit has realised this and is offering salaries to key people it has identified who were previously unpaid mods to stem the exodus.
There is a dedicated sublemmy: !postmarketos@lemmy.ml you might find something there
