It's also guaranteed to be subject to mod corruption. You think a mod won't remove posts so their's or an alt/friend hits top page more frequently? Not that I think most mods and users are that kind of person, but capitalism corrupts, and a lack of profit motive was a huge thing that kept most communities together and friendly, because karma was basically just monopoly money.
Yes! We have a discord. They're doing well, one's justifiably frustrated because they'd been working on a post and finished writing it a few hours before getting banned. The mods they picked had approved memes that were marked as smut/lewd.
It's quieter here from a mod perspective, and people are less looking to get into fights than the DnD subreddits. At least that's the vibe I've got from this instance
I've had a weekly 5e game with some old college friends that's been running for 4+ years. We started at level 1 and just turned level 19. During the last fight I ended in the center of an enemy's casting of Meteor Swarm and was unscathed thanks to my Shield Master feat. That was pretty great!
I giggled at that too, especially when combined with the blogger's quote "Ask them what https means and why it is important and they'll look at you as if you're speaking Klingon."
I'm not the only mod, there's a solid group of who chat regularly in a discord, but I am historically the most active (although spicythuder is doing amazing work, if this was a competition they'd be winning rn lol) and do most of the public facing stuff.
Chutzpah is one of the stats in Crash Pandas! Along with Alacrity, Ferociousness, and Rotundness.
