    That’s a fairly popular opinion.

    I will attempt to enhance the unpopularity of your opinion, by saying that in addition, mods that dont actively contribute to the communities they moderate, are likely in it just for the power dynamic they hold. That applies to Lemmy as well.

    Wow, that was so brave dude. Try this one:

    I think mods are valuable members of the community and I bet most are super chill and care a great deal about seeing their community grow and thrive.

    The crux of this type of community. The popular opinion on Lemmy could be somewhere else’s unpopular opinion and vice versa.

    Considering Lemmy is the smaller site, it stands to reason our collective opinion is the minority of a lot of other places.

      Yeah, that’s why we added the optional guideline to tag opinions as generally unpopular or unpopular on Lemmy. Quite often, those are two very different things.
