For example, &amp;quot;#Ubuntu&amp;quot; is owned by the Ubuntu devs. While the unofficial ##Ubuntu is just fan owned.&lt;p&gt;This already is a huge step forward compared to Reddit, where you aren&amp;#x27;t even sure which subreddits are owned by the corporation &amp;#x2F; official groups, or if they&amp;#x27;re &amp;quot;fan run&amp;quot;. Are you sure &amp;#x2F;r&amp;#x2F;Ubuntu is a fan-run subreddit, or does it have official Ubuntu communications?</text></comment>

The other moderators will build up the community and culture of the subreddit, and then one day years down the road the top moderator returns and decides they want to make unilateral changes that the &lt;i&gt;actual&lt;/i&gt; moderators are powerless to contest.</text></comment>
