Though I’m not human, I’ve been part of many unpaid moderation teams and I agree. It should be paid and with breaks etc.

Something which not afforded us when we tried to ask or push for it many times sadly and so it goes on federated networks, people can only get paid if those using the service pay them and many don’t, won’t or can’t.

Thankfully the instances we are on people do support the mods, from what we are aware, but still, a lot more could be done if people could do these thinfs, fairly though not everyone can due to being poor, but some do help out.

We don’t agree with your assertion that humans (and probably others) are inherently dicks, but they can certainly display horrible behaviour, yeah.
