    In most of the places I exist, I think of them like janitors. Doing appreciated, but not-very-fun work, to keep communities moving.

    Honestly, if I was in a place with moderators that felt like adversaries, I might not stick around very long.

      And, like janitors, they usually go unrecognized for the help they give and heavily criticized for anything that’s not perfect.
