Nearly a decade and a half ago, in my early twenties, I was an administrator for a small/medium online forum. This was before social media was super popular.

At first I just posted on the forum, and then the admins asked me to be a mod. And then as some admins left, they asked me to be one of the admins. So I did.

I did this for like five years, for free. I was working full time, going to grad school part time, running a dividend blog part time, and yet for some reason was also volunteering a lot of time to help run this forum. Because I liked it. After years eventually I left, and someone else stepped in to take my place. All the admins were just volunteering.

Anyway, thatโ€™s who runs the relays. The psychopaths.

What?? You didn't do it for influence, follows or subscribers? This old school early days internet stuff sounds horrible ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I used to mod also in a forum and there is a nice feeling knowing that your part of a self organisjng system that puts the community before the individual. Aligned individuals brought together when the world still felt big and people had time/economic means to be generous!
