Hmm, pathetic doesn't mean harmful. It's closer by meaning to "feeble", which I agree with in the case of Reddit moderators. I don't think they are very influential at all.
- lupire 4y agoDo you think schoolteachers are pathetic? They have much less influence than a reddit mod.
- clnq 4y agoNo influence makes a moderator feeble and ineffective because it is the purpose of their job to have and apply influence to conversations. A schoolteacher's job is different. However, I suppose some could be called pathetic at it, just as workers in any discipline.
