    This is correct. I have already passed off ownership of c/conservative, I’m simply just another moderator now. I have also added mods to any of the communities that actually have content (most of them do not without me seeding it). I have not rejected a single request from anyone that reached out to moderate any of the communities (the biggest ones are c/nba, c/nfl, c/baseball, c/pics, and c/news). I was discussing adding someone as a mod on c/news last night before I logged off and one will be up today. I haven’t received any requests on c/pics but the volume of posting isn’t really unmanageable.

    Edit - And anyone wondering WHY I didn’t remove posts from the one guy that was posting there, the answer is because I believe the voting system should be allowed to do its thing. All of his posts were heavily downvoted, it shows exactly where the community there or those passing by stood on the posts. I don’t believe in overmoderation which Reddit fell victim to and curated those echo chambers by removing content and posts they disagreed with.

    Edit 2 - Screenshot of DMs showing discussions with a c/news user that contacted me where I state that I don’t want the posts to come from incredibly biased sources

    Edit 3 - Grammar
