Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm:

Hi, friends.

I wrote an article on being a Mastodon moderator. I talk about the process, our mental health, the challenges of mutual aid, and more.

It leaves me a little vulnerable, but I think it’s an important story to tell.

If you like it, boosts are welcomed. If you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Okay, here goes…

Thanks for giving us a glimpse into the great work you do as a moderator.

Although we're on different instances, it's all the excellent work you and the many mods across the fediverse undertake, often for little or no financial reward, which makes this place wonderful.

I loved your point that as many people round the world experience hate and facism, we can come here, thanks to you and all the mods, for a safe space, to recuperate and recharge, ready to face the awful outside.
