MODERATORS
That seems a little reductive. I've never moderated anything, but I bet if I spent years building up a community I would also find it hard to just walk away.

Anyone who’s ever tried to get a friend group to change chat apps knows this isn’t simple.
I imagine doing it with a few thousand people is even more difficult.
