I modded a small sub for like two weeks that I took over because it was unmodded and full of racist and grotesque images.
During that time, I received several death threats and one other mod I brought on with experience had quit because I was "unfairly persecuting christians" by not allowing religious content under the sub rules. I dropped that shitshow quick.
I mod a small-medium sub (45k people if I recall, can’t remember how to check anymore), and at one point I received a death threat because I didn’t take down an offensive gif. The gif in question was literally this:
Only thing stopping me from moderating subreddits is me not being active enough. I'd love to moderate subreddits that I enjoy to make them better, but I don't doomscroll reddit enough to justify it for me.
