Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”

  I never met one who wasn’t just getting off on the power trip. I think the nature of that role just draws a certain type who wants to do a specific thing

    Yeah. I feel like, if you aren’t powertripping, moderating lots of subs feels like a bother; and there’s a limit on how much abuse you go through before you say “fuck this, I’m out”.

    I never met one on reddit who wasn’t just getting off on the power trip.

    The ones who don’t, you never meet.

    *looks around* 👀

    I only mod /r/WestAllis because it was locked from new submissions; I just wanted to reopen it for public discussion and to promote a local board game gathering I run there (which has gotten maybe one redditor who is also on Facebook, which is where the bulk of promotion happens anyway). So, there: you have now met at least one, lol.

      yeah in retrospect that was probably pretty harsh. there’s probably a lot of moderators I interacted with that I just didn’t even realize were chill.
