nah man,

mods that are doing their (unpaid) job help with:

removing trolls & spam
removing things that break the TOS
obviously enforcing the rules of the community
and if the format allows for that I also believe they should mediate conflicts between members

corruption and power trips are another thing, it's a really common problem because any amount of power can get into people's heads and make them act like assholes. I believe a part of the problem is also opting for the path of least resistance, where instead of solving a solvable problem a lot of mods instead opt to just get rid of it. But then how much bullshit are you capable of putting up with?

don't get me wrong, I myself am an anarchist, but today's internet is not built to be sustainable without moderation. Anarchism relies on mutual aid and keeping each other accountable, which is just not possible in a place where everyone is anonymous, can create a hundred alts, and doesn't even need to look another person in the eyes as they hurt them and the communities they are active in
