Let’s say a Reddit admin announces that they are a Reddit admin. What do you think will happen? How would people react?

    I’m not sure that they would be able to cope to be honest. The power that being an admin, small as it may be, is abused systemically in that organisation. Not sure what they would do if they couldn’t mute/ban anyone and everyone around them.

      I was a mod on reddit and it’s honestly a relief to not have that responsibility here. It took a toll on my mental health, cleaning all that shit up twice a day. I have kids IRL, I don’t need to be parenting churlish youths on the Internet, too.

        That’s the thing: it’s endless, it’s mostly thankless, it’s annoying AF, and some people wouldn’t so much as spit on you to save your life, though it’s also mandatory for the place to not become a hellhole that nobody wants to go to. Thank you for your service, both in teaching your own kids irl and also on the internets:-).
