    I never met one on reddit 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

      *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. also, good on you. 😁👍

      The ones who don’t, you never meet.

      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”.
