    Yeah, actually moderating an online space with even modest activity is fucking hard and takes a shitton of time.

    I think a lot of people underestimate the effort involved and quickly lose interest once it becomes apparent.

      Yeah, bothered me during the protests to see people downplaying the importance of mods from those who were upset about their favorite sub being shut down. It’s a thankless job that takes lot of building to get started and exposure to bunch of crap to keep the place nice for its users.
