True story. I started two gaming related subreddits 12 years ago. Combined, the have about 170,000 subscribers. They are still thriving communities and I have 0 say in either of those subreddits. I picked a mod for each subreddit and let them run with it. One of those subreddits went dark, the other did not. Again, I didn’t interfere.
People sometimes need something in their lives to give it meaning, and as weird as it is, modding these communities provides that.
Could you imagine being addicted to modding? What a sad life

There’s nothing sad about wanting to create a good community around a topic you’re interested in.
