still need to report people for spreading dangerous info around, and sometimes the same dangerous people are probably trying to brigade and report people too. whichr eddit had to deal with unfortunately, that caused them to overmoderate.

On the topic of admjn burnout, I find it ridiculous that we choose to put so much burden on instance and community admins. Why don’t people just utilize their block functions instead of expecting admins to clean up bad posts and users as fast as possible?
Not saying admins should do nothing, but it should be sufficient for an admin to only do what’s absolutely necessary to keep the instance alive (including removal of illegal content). Anything else should be considered extra credit and no one should be entertained complaining about it.

If you see a community for the first time, and then see harassment and insults everywhere, you’re probably not going to block every offender, you’re just going to not visit that community again.

Libertarians envision a system where everyone takes care of their own trash without regulation or municipal waste services.
Normies come in and see neighborhoods with rubbish everywhere, overrun by bears and racoons.
Not just a metaphor, it really happened.

Not a libertarian if you were referring to me. I envision a system in which we all contribute and take part instead of throwing all the effort on someone already providing you with the space and expecting them to do it all, when you can more easily do it yourself.

Sure, if I want a community about cooking and instead of finding cooking content I find insults and harassment, then I will leave. That’s essentially an equivalent of the blocking feature I spoke about.
But I find it hard to believe that such a cooking community would become good by just having a moderator ban all the offenders, when they occupy most of the posts.
