left during the subreddit mod purges. we closed our sub - 45k~ users with lots of creative, daily content when they announced the API changes and other shittery. They demanded it reopen or they’d appoint new mods, no new mods would step forward. I left and never looked back. I probably should have left long before but the community kept me there doing the modwork.
A note: APPRECIATE YOUR MODS. They’re keeping this experience trash free as much as humanly possible. There’s a certain type of person that volunteers to help build good communities and they mostly deserve your appreciation.
can’t comment re: lemmy mods because I don’t mod here. but. reddit and other social networks benefit incredibly - and I have no doubt lemmy as well - from the sheer mountains of trash, spam, fuckwits and bots that assail their daily content, that mods remove and you never have to see or only see for a few minutes. please stand up and volunteer to mod if you think you could help, it’s certainly needed.
They are humans and humans are biased.
I just got banned from another instance.
Vile personal attacks against me were left up, while lukewarm comments from me like: “Frace is a vasal state” got removed.
.world is not much better.

I don’t know, from what I’ve seen people that should be mods don’t want to and those that want to shouldn’t be.
It’s very similar to politicans actually.
