    Too bad they didn't have a strong and disciplined hierarchical structure to prevent this 😔

          It's not that internet meme communities make some big profound point about society, it's just that the specific thing I'm responding to doesn't make any sense.

          It's exactly why anarchists tend to prefer stuff like Mastodon, and why there's excitement for Lemmy federating. Because then we actually could function without moderators and admins having a monopoly on access to the community, it decentralizes and democratizes moderation.

        But they didn't purge their opponents.

      Funnily enough it seems the top mod did this more or less on their own because they became a Marxist of some sort so probably they're going to be saying this is actually a failure of having a hierarchy forced on them by reddit instead of a council with a rotating executive officer of the week whose decisions have to be ratified at bi-weekly meetings by a simple majority in the case of internal affairs or a 2/3rds majority in the case of all others. All the mods beneath the top one have been mods for 10 hours or less so they clearly purged all the existing ones.
