Unpaid volunteers just want stuff to be involved in. The weird notion that unpaid volunteers are some pure force for good is falsely perpetuated by internet greybeards who only say it because they themselves were those people. Ask any young person their opinion of people in these positions and they’ll rightfully paint them in a negative light. Somehow we took being on body corporate and fetishised it.
- bombcar 3y agoWhen the jannies are unpaid you have to wonder why they’re doing it. They will always say it’s from love for the community, but that can often be suspect. (We known dang moderates us out of the goodness of his paycheck, which means he’s free to love us all :)
- em-bee 3y agoThe weird notion that unpaid volunteers are some pure force for good is falsely perpetuated by internet greybeards who only say it because they themselves were those people that is an interesting argument, but i don't understand how it is relevant here. as far as i can tell the moderators were acting with good intentions as a force for good as it were. if anything the problem was not that but that the company seemed to think that they can dictate what volunteers do. but really, they can't. reddit is doing the same, and if they don't listen to the volunteers they will eventually pay the price.
