They had a perfectly functional model but decided to sabotage some of it to try to squeeze even more money....

What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful

Should we establish a maximum of subs per moderators?

Jim is invading the "finer things club", aka kbin.social is only our launchpad for the fediverse. We should think about finding another instance soon.
For the last few weeks we enjoyed a much better content on kbin than we had on reddit for a long time....
The great thing with the fediverse is that a big company can run its own forum/microblogging instance and therefore communicate with their customers while maintaining full control over their content.
No need for them to chase the next big platform like reddit/facebook/google+, and no need to create "official accounts" on each....
