    Mods are supposed to be janitors (not an insult, just statement of fact), but too often act with the presumed arrogance of “leaders”.

    Yes exactly. I have no stake in the 169 thing, but this applies universally. We don’t need you to remove comments that “don’t contribute to the discussion”. We don’t need to hear whether you think someone is “participating in bad faith” (the fuck does that even mean!?). We need you to remove spam and rule-breaking content, and ban repeat offenders. That’s literally it. We can put up with some bullshit because after all mods are unpaid volunteers who don’t owe anything to anyone, but at some point enough is enough.
