Mods aren’t paid to moderate here and even though they should, I think almost everyone has a well paying job and a partner or family on the side that gets priority.
Also i think other platforms protected you from seeing what kind of opinions are out there in people. Just because mods clean it up on other platforms, it just means you don’t see it - but those opinions are still there.
So I don’t know, maybe I’m old fashioned, but I prefer seeing it than living in some illusion that it doesn’t exist.
Enforcing rules isn’t hiding opinions, it’s enforcing rules, and the only way online communities can work is if there are rules regarding what someone can say and what someone can’t. That’s just the reality of the situation.
Whether mods get paid enough to do it is irrelevant. They chose to be mods so it’s their responsibility to actually moderate. If they don’t want to, someone else should be given the chance to do it.
