Why would anyone want to be a moderator?

Sometimes, it's about the perception of power, but these people tend to make the worst sorts of moderators. Sometimes, it's about wanting to steer a community in a certain direction or to stabilise a community in the direction it's already going in. As for me, I've gone through the first two, plus had a third path - I was effectively deputised as a moderator twice as a spam-catcher.

Regardless of the other stuff, deputy spam catcher is and extremely valuable contribution to the community. I have requested this of people on Lemmy and been pleasantly surprised by how willing people are to help.
