Ngl the reason I don't join more writeblr discords is—well, firstly, I'm already in enough of them—but more importantly, because people get inflated egos over being mods way, way too often. And for no real good reason, either, given they're shit moderators. And I don't have enough energy in me to constantly parse out whether a mod is on an ego trip anymore tbh.

#yes im vaguing yes i know #IDK I've Just Heard A Couple Of Stories Recently About Servers I Already Had My Reservations On #And Each Time It Appears I Was Right to Be Hesitant. Too Often People Have Ego Trips Over Running A Community #And The Sad Part Is Theyre Shit At the Community Running Part. Or They Have WAY Too Strict/Confusing Rules #Or They Overinflate How Much Work They Need to Put In to Belay Any Concerns Raised By Their Members #NGL Each Time Someone Complains About How Hard They Have It Running A Discord I Roll My Eyes Stupid Hard #Ive Done My Fair Share of Moderation Over The Years Unless You Are Micromanaging Every Single Convo It Is NOT That Deep #Sad Part Is Some People DO Wanna Just Micromanage Every Little Conversation. And Then Get Mad Their Rules Aren’t Followed to A T #Not To Mention The Super Culty Ones. Looking At You WTW.#If Youre In A Server With A Very Clear In-Group That You Arent A Part Of? Yeah....#In Those Servers Especially. Getting Decent Conversation Is Like Pulling Teeth #And Anyway Like I Said Im Happy With The Amount of Servers Im In ATM.#Dont Have Need Or Time for Overcrowded Hyper-Regulated Servers With Mods On An Ego Trip. Sorry #alex has the floor
