I noticed that he is the moderator of this community and many others, such as:

  • r/RedditAlternatives
  • r/AmazonLunaHub
  • r/SearchWithAndi
  • r/cloudgaming
  • r/searchengines
  • r/ChargerDaytonaSRT
  • r/ChargerDaytona
  • r/Kia_EV9
  • r/HyundaiONIQ
  • r/DriveIndi
  • r/electriccars
  • r/TeslaModel4
  • r/ioniq7
  • r/E1Series
  • r/SearchKagi
  • r/polestar2
  • r/CohostSocial
  • r/ManyverseSSB
  • r/Manyverse_Social
  • r/StudyInSweden
  • r/EducationAtEurope
  • r/HydrogenFCVehicles
  • r/CitroenAmiCar
  • r/ProjectBloodstrikeBR
  • r/Hydrogen_Vehicles
  • r/AmazonLunaPortal

and 28 more in /kbin

How is he able to manage all these communities? What are his motivations?

I’m curious to know more about this person who seems to have a lot of influence and control over the content and discussions on Reddit and /kbin. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wonders about this.

I am by no means attacking u/TheArstaInventor, but I’m genuinely interested in his motivations.

    People who moderate many communities isn’t inherently bad, but we should be thankful instead that they give their personal time to moderate these communities.

      You know why they may think it could be a bad thing though right?

      Lots of power moderators of Reddit acted high and mighty. Whether it was over moderating or trying to flex whatever influence they have

        I wish I can leave half of the communities I created here on kbin actually, and on Reddit, the reason I have so many (and you would notice how a lot of communities are related to motorsports, cars, racing in some way or the other) is because I love racing, it’s a career I want to pursue soon for sure, thats why so many subreddits I have is related to cars or motorsports in general, and I really wanted to see a lot of them grow on Reddit but not anymore after seeing what Reddit is capable of doing, I don’t want to be there anymore (F spez). So my reddit account is somewhat abandoned since then, I do peek at it occasionally, but my focus has shifted here.

        Other than that I see modding as a hobby, I really love to do it a lot, and even better with kbin, it’s really satisfying to help it in ways I can for it to grow, as I’ve really come to hate the corporate Reddit of today.

          That makes sense and I did get a bit of that from there being some common themes in communities you moderated.

          I was more referring to the fact that it can be done maliciously. Even if the moderator doesn’t realize it. I think it’s good to be a bit skeptical when it happens

            No worries! I totally get you, I have indeed come across some very disrespectful and power hungry mods on Reddit, I do hope those people don’t come here, or atleast change their attitude towards moderation!

      WORLD DOMINATION FOR SURE, and 1 million? nahh, a billion dollars, my main goal is to get up there with Elon, Jeff and Mark, and then buy Kbin, erase that X website with Kbin and the fediverse while absolutely destroying Reddit.

      A solid plan isn’t it? I’m cooking here bro, it’s being made. I’ll tell you that.

    Sometimes if you subscribe to a magazine that’s not from your instance it’ll just say that your instance owner is the mod even if that’s not true, especially for Lemmy communities. That’s probably what’s actually going on, but I didn’t check all of those mags to confirm
