Reddit mods have some of the worst reputations for power abuse on the entire internet. People in the comments are saying that many of these people quit with the implication that this is bad. But what if it's not? There are quite a few stories of these people being horrible gate keepers that pushed certain pet agendas. It's possible with these people out that new ideas can flourish and more people will be able to participate.
- intended 3y agoMy constant answer to this is to volunteer oneself. Please. There are many subs, which lack mods and need to throw bodies at mod queues. If it helps, I’ve seen Reddit outreach programs to mods, and they used to respect the opinions of certain mods and subs. Spez recently joined a mod team. It’s enlightening, one of those “everyone should do this” kind of experiences. Reddit modding in particular is not just modding, but also community outreach and management, typically for text.
- Uptrenda 3y agoYou can't just sign up as a mod though. The people who are mods are there because they were members of a select clique and when recruiting they're only going to choose similar people. The closest you can get to having an open process is starting your own sub but then: you've always been free to yell where no one can hear you.
