I wasn’t any kind of big mod, but it was something I did out of love for a set of related hobbies/interest and the folks that took part in them. I had only really started being a relatively busy mod maybe six months before the shit hit the fan last year. I was having fun, expanding wikis, shooting the bull with everyone. Managed to streamline some automod stuff to filter out bots and trolls. Didn’t even mind most of the crap that goes with modding like having to throw a ban or whatever because idgaf, so it was done and over and forgotten once it was necessary.
It was fulfilling in a way I hadn’t thought I would have after my back gave out and I couldn’t work. I do some volunteer stuff that got started during the height of covid, but that was weekly even then, and had dropped off a lot. So having that “work” to keep my mind busy was nice.
