I noticed that "Ask Lemmy" only has 4 moderators.

That's a single mod per 12k~ subscribers.

Or a single mod per 250~ users daily.

@14specks hasn't made a post and comment in 2 years.

@[email protected] hasn't in 4 months.

@Cloak in a year.

@mekhos in 3 years.

Where are the mods?

Power trip? Bratan those were paid marketing / influencers.

Only because Lemmy is small enough to not need it.
