At the risk of agreeing with Reddit:

Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Reddit has a massive powermod problem.

Yeah. I mean, I remembered seeing someone named awkwardturtle on there and they moderated like some 30+ subreddits? That's ridiculous.

Users like that should not have that much power.
