I had hope until yesterday. I was a mod and all my users turned on me and said some really hurtful things. I’m gonna give a mod position to someone else on a smaller sub I’m a part of or two and step down from the rest. I’m guessing I’ll still lurk, but I’m done with it.
One of my favorite subs went aggressively pro-shill. Not just “you did your best”. But nothing except contempt and endless mockery.
I would say it’s astroturfing. But previously a gaming sub had gone dark for a mere 24 hours as a statement about toxicity and the response was similar.

I don’t think people understand how important moderation is. I’m sorry you had that experience. I appreciate all the work you’ve put in.
Thank you. Working to let it go.

Why don’t you just step down without assigning a new mod? Let Reddit self destruct itself.
