I technically do, but only because the communities rarely to never need moderation.

I'm just too damn old to moderate much of anything that's active enough to need moderation lol. If any of move ever do get busy, I'll be looking for someone to take over.

Part of that is lemmy moderation low key sucking. Cross instance moderation is broken as fuck, but even on your own instance, it's a pain in the ass. As much as people hated automod on reddit, if you got used to the way it worked, you could trivialize things in terms of stress vs reward without just stomping on users.

Since I also tend to hate trying to mod on a personal account, that's another layer of hassles I just don't have the energy for at this point
