Why would anyone want to be a moderator?
Why would anyone want to be a moderator?
Are moderators just purely altruistic? Or do they have an ulterior motive?

I started a community on kbin because there wasn't really one there with the same kind of content that I wanted to see for this particular topic.
I've never really been a moderator before, but I'm excited by the fediverse and want to help grow it, so I thought I'd at least try.
Exactly, there doesn't have to be any deeper meaning behind it. The community does not exist yet, so you make one. I don't see a difference between a moderator and any other user of a community as long as it is small. Perhaps you have to delete a bot post occasionally, or check if there are any technical difficulties. When a community has a lot of people in it, it's probably a lot more work because you have to look out for trolls and evil people. :O
You have the best screen name!
I love comments like yours that make me take a moment to look back and appreciate something I would have otherwise skimmed over
Aww thank you! Your name is... interesting as well. (゜∇ ゜)
Why, thank you very much!
This is also my case. Was never a moderator of anything, but felt responsible for providing a place where the community I participated on in Reddit could continue here, so I took on the challenge.
