It’s a lot less likely. Instance owners are closer to the management of the communities than Reddit admins are. Many would not accept it and remove moderators like that from their communities.
I think it definitely can still happen, as there are no definitive ways totally prevent it. But imho the chances are less likely because the nature of fediverse where the communities are scattered (which some people feel is a weak point of fediverse) act as cushion to minimize the impact. for example i think it’s highly unlikely a mod in programming.dev community is also a a mod in sh.itjust.works.
But let’s just say what if that guy managed to apply as mod in both place? it’s also quite unlikely if sh.itjust.works admin agree with the mod’s abusive action that programming.dev’s admin would think the same way.
What prevents that from happening here?
