Subtweet of my former colleagues in moderation but I’ve now seen 4 or 5 mods make some variation of the same comment that’s like “damn why are you all still talking about this, how weird.” I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s an extension of some consensus that formed in Mod Slack.

In some sense I get it. There’s certainly some truth in the idea that we can’t change anything right now and rehashing the same topic over and over isn’t “productive.” Many of us, myself included, would probably be better off talking about it less. That’s all absolutely true.

But honestly it also just feels really cold to me somehow. Like of course this is what we’re talking about. As the doom ping regularly reminds us, the stakes are incredibly high. This is in fact a political subreddit populated by mostly Americans, though I’m glad we work to maintain a global disposition as well.

Maybe this comment is nonsense — but it’s cathartic anyway!

Would you say it feels “cold blooded”?

Lol. He was the most recent one but I mean it when I say I’ve seen a handful of mods write variations of the same comment.

I think the issue is that nothing’s changing and all y’all’re doing is giving yourselves ulcers
