Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

The fact that most communities have a single unique moderator.
Most communities only have one user so this checks out /s
What kind of communities are you talking about?
Mostly niche interest ones. Especially when there's multiple communities for that interest. It's hard to point a finger at one but I think the last one I looked at was dubstep. I check the sidebar, only one mod. I check their user page, they're only moderating one comm. The odds of them being a terminally online psycho are greatly reduced than if they're moderating 10+ comms.
Not that comms with multiple mods are at all bad, or moderators operating a cluster of comms. It's just not the same instant green flag as when there's only 1-3. This is kind of why I like the current size fediverse is at. Like, I know people want it to grow but there's something kind of nice about small communities
