Yeah volunteer mods almost always act like fief lords on any platform.

The type of person that would volunteer is precisely the type of person who shouldn't be a mod, usually.

    You see the same effect in person, too, with HOAs being the most notorious example. But there are many volunteer-based organizations that do incredible good work. Power tripping is a thing to watch out for and build guardrails against, but thankfully it's not universal.
