Ah, okay now this makes more sense. I misread and thought he was the owner of CD Projekt, and he got his own company to sell GOG to himself. Thanks for the clarification!

Can someone who’s more well versed in business explain what this means? From my understanding, nothing really changes as the owners of both GOG and CD Projekt is the same dude. But I’m sure there must be a reason why this was done.

That is indeed true. Only issue I can see is the copycat community might not outgrow the older community. And I think people tend to gravitate towards the larger community if there are multiples of them. Especially newer users who won’t know of the power tripping mods and will just assume it’s an ordinary community. But let’s hope new users joining the Fediverse have better critical thinking skills and start asking questions if they see a community with a strong and active copycat community.

This can happen on the Fediverse as well, though. It might not happen at the same scale as on Reddit over here due to the public modlog, but mods can still ban people for no legitimate reason.

There are lots of other reasons why Reddit sucks. But mods power tripping isn’t unique to them. We have our own fair share of power tripping mods and community hoarders that migrated here from Reddit.

Those scary words make the investors sad. :(

It was probably posted on Instagram or TikTok first, and they probably have some dumbass filter which hides your post if you have the word “kill” in it.
