I've modded a few communities I created and a few others. I dropped many of them over the years but two, and will be leaving these soon. The reason was admin abuse and user toxicity.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
A lot of them think that what they're doing is "important " somehow, like they'll let the "community" down if they quit. They're all deluded.
You are preaching to the choir. Early adopters have been leaving Reddit over the years for all the known reasons. I will be demodding myself from the last two subs by end of the month. And GDPR-nuking my account after data takeout request is through.
maybe to show that Reddit is the bad page of the internet, dont know, i am not a mod
Wouldn't it be more effective to simply delete whole subreddits en masse? Not only would that spit in spez's face, but it would drive many to other sites like here. Or am I missing something on account of being a low tech old fart?
It would be safe to assume reddit has backups they can load up in that case.
I’m pretty sure you can’t just “delete” a subreddit
They like the position of power over other users and it's worth more to them than being treated well by the platform.
Some people, believe it or not, think that being a mod on a subreddit makes them cool and interesting. In reality, it makes them look like a bozo.
