I really wonder what Reddit will be like in 5 years.

Pretty much exactly what it is right now, just more bitter and toxic as the normies increasingly segregate themselves from the mental patients that powermod as if their lives depended on it, depriving the latter of the control and attention that they require.

I'm right now casually following a bit of mindless drama on the Pathfinder RPG sub, where one of the mods decided to abuse their mod powers (shocking, I know) by posting a long essay on how long-standing tropes about ninja, samurai, and (Asian-style) monks are all deeply rooted in anti-Asian racism. There was, as expected, a good bit "what the fuck are talking about," and the mod responded exactly as expected, with a shitton of comment deletions and userbans, and the other mods have either remained conspicuously silent or actively supported the problem mod; supposedly the sub's discord channel is a seething mess of mods going on about the racist users.

They don't seem to understand (or maybe don't care) that they're just driving away people who want share tips and fun about playing the game. The actual racists, if there even are any, won't care in the slightest about their nonsense.
