This is how communities go to shit. On average, the people signing up to mod are losers with nothing better going on, then they abuse their new powers they obtained by simply responding to a post
I was a mod for a community of over 100k. Being a mod sucked. It was dealing with entitled users who wanted you to run the sub to their liking, nuking spammers and trolls, and basically caring for it like it was a digital baby.
I did most of my moderation in RIF.
I nuked my account and deleted it when the other moderators voted to reopen the sub. Lemmy life for me now.
That sounds awful. This is one of the average moderators are shit idiots, because normal people don't have the capacity to do all that and their normal lives
