Yeah, I think the power trip of moderating some subreddit with millions of members is very seductive.
Sadly, it seems very seductive to exactly the people I would not want moderating, but I’m sure ousting conscientious moderators for puppet dictators will alleviate this situation in the future of Reddit.
