I'm one of the mods of a few subs even though I'm no longer active. I hopped on yesterday and had a chat with the remaining mods of a couple of subs. They've been SO busy moderating assholes, propagandists, aggressive conspiracy theorists, and spam bots. They're suspending and banning accounts every day or two when it used to be an account or two every month. These are all small to medium sized, niche subs dedicated to helping people and sharing various ideas and people are trolling and harassing users like they've never seen before.

I checked out some of the subs's contents and in short order found I let myself get sucked into trying to educate an anti-masker in a sub that really shouldn't attract that type. It went how you'd expect, and it made me realize I haven't had a single interaction like that on Lemmy. It's nicer here.
