Comment on How do you vet a person asking to be a mod? Unlike others don't want to read their entire post history. How come pretty much no one is asking to be a mod on c/askhistorians?

Not an exact answer, but:

I tried modding once, because essentially I see the necessity. However, the head mod (this was on reddit, and there’s a hierarchy built into the system) was power-tripping badly, unwilling to communicate with other mods or mod decisions, showering misbehaving users with insults. Their POV was: it’s shit work, don’t make it worse for me by wanting to talk about it. What a stupid opinion to have about voluntary unpaid work. Ultimately I got kicked out by the mod and I realized I’ll never take this on again. Last laugh’s on me though, I have now created a community & also mod it…
