I really don't think that's the case. If you want to mod r/politics, you don't just raise your hand and then get mod powers. Moderators are a closed group.

- munificent 3y agoYou can create your own subreddit and be the sole moderator of it in about sixty seconds of effort.
- jdminhbg 3y agoSure. But that doesn't really have any bearing on whether Reddit can find volunteers to take over big subs.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoThis sounds distinctly different from one raising their proverbial hand to gain moderator powers on one of the most popular subreddits on the site. How many non-moderator users don't care about moderating a subreddit with 1 user but do care about moderating a subreddit with 1M users?
- munificent 3y agoIf someone wouldn't be willing to start and grow their own subreddit, should they really be entrusted with the keys to a big one?
- HKH2 3y ago> Counter-argument: 99.996% of Reddit users apparently don't want to be moderators or they already would be, so finding more will be very hard. That was what you said before.
