It’d be nice to have some kind of recourse of a mod gets out of hand and wrecks a community.
Like a way to either vote out mods (dangerous in case of bot voting), or to fork communities such that community members are made aware of the forking (potential spam/troll vector), or something like that.
Idk if that’s needed here, but just in general.

Not needed. Admins create their own policy on removing mods and purging communities. Everything else you vote with your feet.
Squid isn’t as awful as people play like he is, but he’s a provocative troll himself half the time and if he used the metric he used to ban this guy he’d have to ban himself.

The voting with your feet only works if people know they’re is another (viable) option, which is what I was getting at with the forking idea.
Idk much about the mod or really the op in the referenced post, I was taking more generally; I’ve seen a few small communities turn into little fiefdoms.

he’s a mall cop still bitter about failing it of the police academy.
I tangled with him once, he’s response when I said he was being pendentic about something, was “don’t you see I’m a mod?”
That tells you everything you need to know about him.
