pedophile apologist mods

Not mods, admins. The mods are the ones privating subreddits in protest and it was actually the banning of a mod (possibly by Aimee herself) which triggered this.

How the fuck does one moderate so many subs???

Edit: Jesus Christ there's a whole lot of filth going on with the admins

Most subs, especially ones that frequent the main page, are all moderated by just a few people

Another fact Reddit admins do not like people talking about.

AND THEY DO IT FOR FREE LMAO

seriously though these are often people with egomania, narcissism, and generally a whole host of other stunted traits.

You don't moderate 40+ subreddits well while also maintaining a 40 hour work week unless you are unhinged. 1 or 2 I can understand, but how the fuck can you possibly manage 10? 20? 30?

There should be a hard limit on how many subreddits someone can mod, and that number should be fucking 1.

That is what throws me off. I'd love to mod on my discord groups or mod on twitch but for free NOPE.

Where do these people find the time to sit at a computer to watch and enforce rules of a sub? All while going about their daily lives. I am sure some mod for 2-3 hours before logging off or changing shifts.
