Exactly, it was kind of a facetious comment, but it is kind of sad there’s mods that feel a sense of obligation to run a corporate social media site and that the reddit leadership is banking on the social currency of being a mod keeping any sort of value.
Perhaps op was thinking of mods for subs like r/suicide
I feel that mods in those types of subs genuinely care about the community and would probably feel that if they walked away, they’ll lose the chance to help someone in need.
That’s what I don’t get either, at this point I don’t see how anyone would willingly spend their time modding on reddit, so there they must be doing it against their will!
It’s almost like it would be easier to just walk away, I feel for the people that are forced to stay and continue to mod.
Nobody is forced to mod for free on Reddit

I guess they just don’t want their community to die / be destroyed.
So migrate the sub to Lemmy/Kbin. Nothing stopping mods from promoting links, I suppose.
