A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Though I'm not human, I've been part of many unpaid moderation teams and I agree. It should be paid and with breaks etc.
Something which not afforded us when we tried to ask or push for it many times sadly and so it goes with moderation, people just don't care enough to pay us a lot of the time as we, can only get paid if those using the service pay the mods or those in charge of it do. However, many don't, won't or can't. To be clear though this isn't just on federated services, this was also on commercial services too.
Thankfully the instances we are on people do support the mods, from what we are aware, but still, a lot more could be done if people could do these things, fairly though not everyone can due to being poor, but some do help out.
We don't agree with your assertion that humans (and probably others) are inherently dicks, but they can certainly display horrible behaviour, yeah.
