    Might be wise to add an age and education attainment requirement to be a moderator. I’m probably in the minority here but I appreciated the mods at r/politics. Mind you I’ve been temporarily-banned a few times from that sub, justifiably so (usually for stooping to the level of the uncivil). They were generally fair and didn’t seem to exploit their positions from what I experienced in ten years there.

      It’s just too ironic that people left reddit because spez didn’t understand how hard modding is…

      And Lemmy is full of communities were the mods have no idea what they’re doing, they just signed up a couple days earlier than everyone else.

      Especially without established mod tools/bots like reddit had. It’s going to be a shitshow.

      How would education attainment be verified- and how could that seen as anything but alienating the working class. Also, what would be a good minimum age*?

          True, I will talk to other mods about adding mandatory ID checking and notarized doctorate verification(probably by mail). /s
