Personally I think not having karma limits is nice currently! I understand why they were used but grinding karma as a lurker on reddit was frustrating.

Here admin has even more power, except it is limited to their own instance. So it is more on the user to be prepared. You don’t want to be too attached to your data on a single instance. The instance might be abandoned, down, gone; the admin might go crazy. And the solution isn’t to have the admin be more reasonable. The solution is to hedge your bets on multiple instances and multiple communities.
Seems like the ability to migrate instances would be really useful…
That kinda defeats the whole purpose though. The entire point of reddit was to have a big community surrounding a certain topic. Having to have multiple communities for the same topic just increases fragmentation.
That tends to happen naturally anyway. People tend to join the biggest and the most active community they can find.
The difference now is that you can more easily break off in case of a schism, without having to fight for the subreddit name or come up with weird prefixes like r/true_whatever and try to bring people over.
Like here I am, on my alt instance.
so what happens if the admin of the instance where you registered decides to nuke your account, do other instances also automatically delete your posts that you made there?
That would be my guess.
how would that work? create multiple accounts on different instances and switch to another one if needed?
