MODS GET AN UNDESERVED LEVEL OF FLACK FROM USERS. YOU DO IMPORTANT WORK, AND I APPRECIATE YOU. SOMETIMES YOU MAY MAKE BAD CALLS, OR GET OVERLY INVOLVED IN A PARTICULAR SPICY THREAD, CAUSING A CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH RESPECT TO MODDING. I THINK THAT’S OKAY THOUGH, AND I THINK YOU DESERVE THE SPACE TO MAKE MISTAKES. EXPECTING MODS TO EXIST APART FROM THE COMMUNITIES THEY MODERATE ISN’T A REASONABLE EXPECTATION.
CURATING AND MAINTAINING OUR ONLINE COMMUNITIES IS NOT A SOLVED PROBLEM, BECAUSE HUMANS ARE MESSY, AND THUS MODERATION WILL ALWAYS BE MESSY TOO. WE’RE STILL FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE ALL OF THIS WORK, AND YOU ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR COLLECTIVE LEARNING HERE.
MANY MODERATORS GET INTO THE ROLE BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY IN QUESTION. IN THE CURRENT CAPITALIST HELLSCAPE WE EXIST IN, THAT CARE IS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE. I APPRECIATE YOU.
