MODERATORS

Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible. (kbin.social)

Tells me they like modding and are likely pretty OK at it? Some of them definitely suck and abuse their power, but just because someone mods a lot of communities doesn't mean they're a bad mod or shouldn't be a mod.

I've created some communities that got pretty big and are still around even though I am no longer modding and I can tell you this: Modding is a shitty, thankless, unpaid job.
