I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

    This is good feedback, and I agree. I try my best to limit moderation to content that needs removing, and simply vote on the rest.

    One thing I find is that mods are more likely to remove/nuke a thread when they’re stretched thin or there is a wave of rule breaking content. Bringing on more active mods can help so that each mod can spend more time scrutinizing each post.

    The other great thing about the Fediverse is that you can make your own version of a community if you disagree with how one is being run. I’ve joined a few communities with different styles of moderation

    I think it’s because it’s just memes and also quite hard moderation and downvotes

    Could this be specific to the American election?

    I feel like I’ve seen more items in the moderation queue recently. I can’t say I’ve had to act on more items though
