I have decided that new moderator (including a new head moderator) are needed for the future of this community. I will step back into the position of moderator that I had previously held. If enough people demand I will consider stepping down completely. I apologize for any harm that I have caused to this community.

Ahh I see what you mean.

Honestly it comes down more to the fact that nobody else stepped up to mod before the drama.

A holdover from reddit culture is having a tight knit group of mods for each community, when it could very well be more open than that.

For example the /c/Trans comm here and /c/traa on hexbear.

/c/Trans here did open recruitment a while ago and pretty much anybody that was interested got added to the team and subsequently the matrix chat.

Hexbears /c/traa will add pretty much anyone that's been active in the community and is trans in order to have moderation available around the clock. As a result any bad apples are culled asap, and the community is much better for it.

I do agree that there could be something that isn't so top heavy though, but I'm not personally sure what such a system would look like.
