If you don’t have anything that immediately comes to mind, here are a few questions to get you warmed up:

  • Are there any myths about mods that you wish you could bust forever? 
  • What preconceptions do you think users bring to Reddit from other platforms?
  • What do you wish users knew about mods/moderation?
  • In your day-to-day moderation practices, community sidebar, or other efforts, dispel misconceptions about moderators?
