    I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry. Some of these people spent hundreds of hours building up a subreddit and maintaining it and you call them power hungry because they don’t want to lose what they worked so passionate for - for free.

      I love how the many users are quick to call mods power hungry.

      @Hovenko wrote that really carefully. If you interpret it literally, it basically says “some moderators are addicted to power.”

      Which is true. You are also right, most aren’t. But some are.

        There are many reasons why are people in general returning to reddit. Addiction, not wanting to let past work go, not giving a crap, giving up on things… I just don’t like labeling them and pretending there is only one which fits the narrative.

      Maybe you should read what I have written first.
      You are talking like there was no such thing as addiction to power among mods. And once again - there are all kinds of mods. Gaussian curve applies here as well.

      You notice how a bunch of subreddit mods are staying on Reddit and reopening their subreddits after the old mods were forced out? Those are the power-hungry ones who want to lord over others, I suspect. They know they won’t have any power over anyone if they leave.
