Not sure if this is a hot take but I sometimes see people talk about moderation as the central spine of community management.
Moderation is to community management what taking the trash out is to being a chef. It’s part of the equation for sure but it’s not really the thing.

I had a dream about the Mothman and woke up in a really good mood. I'm going to store that in the memory bank for the next time someone asks me to tell them about myself.

Sometimes when I talk about my thoughts on community management, people call me idealistic but I'm actually really proud to have made it this far without getting jaded or losing my hope in the goodness of things.

I'm toying with the idea of giving up coffee so I tried a matcha latte for the first time and it was like a piece of spinach threw up in my mouth. What's that about? How do you come to enjoy that? I might just switch to decaf coffee.

When I was 20 my anxiety was so bad it was hard to do some ordinary things, the pinnacle of which was going to the post office. I just got back from the post office and realised it was exactly ordinary. It’s not a huge thing, just a nice reminder of how things change over time.

I've been thinking about the games industry a bit and I think maybe where some studios go wrong is in attempting to commodify their community and forgetting that they're providing a service TO the community first and foremost.
