    Don’t underestimate the power of spite.

      Actually if its not changed most subs will go down indefinitely because moderation will get 3 times more time consuming (at least) and the default subs will need a team of people working in shifts 24/7 without ever interrupting.

      Also the amount of bots is skyrocketing.

        This is what I want to see. When admins forced a sub to reopen I would think the volunteer mods won’t maintain it, it will slowly crumble. Volunteer mods has a better motivation to maintain the sub they love than a paid employee.

        If Lemmy ever hits mainstream, the bots will be bad here too.

          Nah, most instances have manual approval and you can just block entire instances as a instance…
