        From what I’ve been told, out of the three active subs I modded that got yanked and restaffed with whoever, only one isn’t a bot ridden mess.

        And that one is kinda shit (again, that’s second hand) now.

        Not that I was some paragon of modding, it’s just that you can’t have random assholes put in place after actual users are pissed off and expect things to work out well.

            Neat explanation. Thanks. I also modded some communities over there.

            It’s not only reddit i‘m seeing this happen on. At work, on discord, people with questionable morals start to get into power and take over from those who built stuff up.

            It’s like we have an epidemic of the dark triad. Being manipulative, impulsive and brutal seems to get more and more normalized through our economic system.

                Yes, I agree on most points, especially comparing the different populists/fascists.

                But radio was new, as is the internet and now we have a word for this behavior. Psychology shows us why people like musk rise to power.

                Instead of taking away voting rights from people we deem „too stupid“, we should hospitalize people without a moral compass like we should do with serial killers to be instead of sending them to the electric chair afterward (or prison for life in europe)

                If someone shows parts of the dark triad, they should be barred from any office that has any power over any other human being.

                Are they great strategists? Yes! Are they unable and/or unwilling to empathise with their victims? Also yes.

                Give them strategy work but dont let them take care of people. Its not that hard.
