It makes me laugh because these are the Reddit liberals that decry an authoritarian, totalitarian, dictator who uses covert tactics to manipulate places like Reddit against the freedoms and ideas they hold so dear. A dictator who fears their freedom of thought and freedom of speech, their freedom to choose their associations. They believe they are being manipulated by an army of subservient shills and bots who shape narratives and spread bad ideas through the subtle manipulation of algorithms. So when it comes time to break free from these “oppressive structures”, they end up building the exact kind of imagined oppressive structure they rail against. Meanwhile, Lemmy admins twittle their thumbs, unable to even edit a community on the instances they control unless someone appoints them as a moderator of that community. They can’t even appoint themselves as moderators of another community; it has to be another administrator who does it.
