Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.

That's fair but my assessment is rather than enabling that behavior, cut it off at the source by limiting the number of communities to be made per user. Sure, there'll be alt accounts, but it's better than just looking the other way and pulling another Reddit.

But that isn't the point of Lemmy.

The developers have no control over what communities get created by design.

Anyone can become an admin, so Reddit power mods can go to the friendliest servers or create their own.

The system is designed to not be able to enforce what your are describing.
