    Probably wouldn’t be such a high cost in ð first place if ðey didn’t hoover up every open mod spot for ð power trip

      Unrelated, but genuine curiosity - Why the usage of the thorn eth rather than spelling the word “the” out? Ain’t bothered by it or nothin’, just interesting to see out in the wild online!

      I was only a mod on 1 subreddit and the vial stuff people would post to be assholes was sad, like they had nothing better to do then search for nasty gore shit to post on a nice meme sun because they were offended by others happiness.

        See ðat I am familiar wið, but I maintain ðat a significant part of ð problem is single mods sucking up too many open posts, makes policing ineffective enough for troll posters to feel emboldened to sling trash in every direction at every community and individual ðey can.

      But this isn’t voluntary moderation (though that might also have that issue), this is about the people who moderate for a living. So people on Facebook, or X (formerly known as Twitter), who see the posts that you report, and have to work with all of that.

      Those people typically aren’t going around just hoovering up a mod spot for the fun of it.
