I guess "computer janitor" = moderator, and the person above you does not like world mods.

I'm no fan of world (mostly because they're too big and thus mainstream), but what does this insult mean?

I’ll take a million influencers over any and all libertarian computer janitor morons from lemmy.world

Let people be, I don't like the phenomenon of influencers either, but on the one hand if they can grift advertising money from megacorps, good for them, and if you don't consume toxic social media, you won't ever meet them.

I for one, haven't seen an influencer post in my life.
