Internet moderation needs to be performed dispassionately. It's administration, not leadership. But still, it appeals to power-tripping, self important assholes who have no interest in curating a functional community but instead ensuring everyone thinks and acts exactly like they do. The larger lemmy gets, the more of these awful moderators make up the moderation team. There is no mechanism in place to prevent this. I don't even know how such sa mechanism would work, but as soon as one is figured out, the Internet will be a better place.
