Worth mentioning that the new mods told me I’m not welcome in this community anymore due to my content being “rage bait” in their mind, while FelixCress can continue getting ratioed posting “vegan bad”, “woman bad”, “cyclist bad” and other actual boomer ragebait daily without consequences, as long as they do it politely.
Well the necessity for moderation came from neither spam nor flood, it came from one user (beep) who kept posting comics without attribution and harassed artists who left a signature on their work.
There was also that user who kept posting a particularly transphobic/hateful comic strip (Jago), at least it kept getting ratio’d by the community but it didn’t do much to make the place feel welcoming.
Mods were needed to deal with both. And they did, which is good.

To think I was happy when we finally got mods.
Moderation is a nice thing in only one single case: when moderation is limited to spam and flood.
