Feels like it occasionally. You know why I’m the mod of /c/Gay@Lemmy.world? Because when I started posting ages ago, I posted some memes in /c/Gay. The mod there just went “I don’t wanna be mod anymore” and randomly added me as a mod and left being a mod himself. No warning. Found out a couple days later noticing the M next to my name.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have experienced that. It’s so weird to be given the keys to the castle overnight and not know what to do with them.

  Exactly. Like with TenForward, I made it specifically to get away from abusive admins of another instance. Fine. I knew that was coming. But being left stood there like “Wait why can I remove other peoples posts” is just so fuckin bizarre. I don’t know if Lemmy ever added an update notifying you you’re a mod or anything. Maybe something in the automod. It is a bit nuts that you can just be dubbed mod lol

    That’s gnarly. But thank you for your labor in supporting these communities. We love you for it
