Groomercord mod enters the comments:
I recently started my own Groomercord server and had my first experience in content moderation. The demographics is mostly teenagers. Some have mental health issues.It was the hardest thing ever.
In first incident I chose to ignore a certain user being targeted by others for posting repeated messages. The person left a very angry message and left.
Comes the second incident, I thought I learnt my lesson. Once a user is targeted, I tried to stop others from targeting the person. But this time the people who targeted the person wrote angry messages and left.
Someone asked a dumb question, I replied in good faith. The conversation goes on and on and becomes weirder and weirder, until the person said "You shouldn't have replied me.", and left.
Honestly I am just counting on luck at this time that I can keep it running.
How old are you? An adult running a groomercord server for mentally ill teenagers seems like a cautionary tale from the 1990s about chatrooms.

Why would anyone think this guy would know anything about content moderation? Reddit in 2012 had just taken the bold step of banning implicit child porn.
