    I want an internet where admins don’t control the world. Where moderators don’t become megalomaniacs that get to control the way submissions and comments get banned without reason.

    I want a place where someone’s passion for their unique hobby doesn’t get stripped away by corporate interests, exploitative third parties, and ad agencies.

    I know it might be a pipe dream but I’ll keep trying to fight for what I believe.

      As much as it’s distasteful, forums need admins. The bots and nazis habitually take over anywhere that doesn’t moderate.
