The joke was that the only people making mods be mods is themselves, and some will never let go of the power trip even if the site is dead. Less dramatic but I saw the same sentiment on sysadmim. Like their sub is their own repo of curated information that they don’t feel anybody else is capable of maintaining. But now there’s like 20 sysadmin communities on Lemmy so hopefully anybody who still thinks that can find the motivation to move on.
