As a moderator and admin for countless Discord communities, yeah, I've seen some vile shit.

Pretending that it doesn't have an impact doesn't help in the long run. Secondary Trauma is a thing. Create a workflow to distance yourself from the content, plan breaks, and please talk to someone (qualified) about it.
