MODERATORS
I used to miss my local city sub more, but the current mods have basically turned it into a reddit version of Nextdoor.
10 years ago it was mostly punks and weirdos on the sub, then all the normies came and even the fucking local sheriff.
The local sheriff finally fucked off after he got called out for trying to hire a murderer from a neighboring jurisdiction.
I feel like if Lemmy could get big enough, we could get back to where the interesting people are all in one place again.
Our city sub never really had those kinds of issues, drama to be sure from time to time, but for the most part it was just a great place to learn what events were happening that weekend. Or get inside info on something that happened in the news, etc. I have checked in on it a couple times since deleting my Reddit accounts, but it's not the same and feels off since joining lemmy.
