I’d been a reddit user since 09 or 10 and never once had a bad interaction with a mod… I don’t understand all the hate. Yes I’m sure some aren’t the nicest but I’d wager most are good folk managing communities with the good intentions.
Had a couple bad experiences with the r/Linux mods, but other than that most of them are fine. I think users don’t really grasp what mods do, and the amount of internet sewage they have to sift through. And when they’re doing a good job, the users don’t notice it in the first place.
Well, most of them probably are okay but it depends on what subs your going too and how often you post. There are mods that will ban you without warning for not agreeing with their opinion. If you’re using Reddit objectively, not talking about politics/religion/philosophy/etc than you probably will never have a problem unless you’re an asshole.
The auto mods are horrible too. Some sections of Reddit are very difficult to post on- even when following the rules to a T. I think Reddit is over moderated nowadays compared to ‘09-10 and earlier.
The mods are as bad as the bots. Hopefully the bad ones quit come July 1. But i doubt those neck beards have much else to do.

Think about when the average person ever has cause to interact with large community mods. There’s your answer.

Maybe only users with bad behaviour have problems with mods and complain about it all the time. Similar to the police in real life.
