…presumably that advice is also meant for the ~~[_landed gentry_](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blackout-ceo-steve-huffman-moderators-rcna89544)~~ `r/haskell` moderators - to that I say…oh wait, I already said it here:

If a moderator could walk away from all their person-years of work “just like that”, they probably would had done so much earlier for other reasons: tired of ridding spam; tired of annoying users; had a bad day at (paid) work; had a fight with their partner or spouse …etc. I’ve never been a moderator myself, so I just guessing here: what would (at least to me) make one…

Why bother repeating a point of view when you can just refer to the post which contains it?
