Today on Fimfiction:

Moderator who spent the last two years giving his friends a pass when they violated the rules on hate speech and personal attacks is upset that those people continued to foment hate speech and make personal attacks; proposes the solution of no longer calling them his friends, because as a mod that's clearly the only thing he can do.

The moderators are the gatekeepers. They control the tone of a community. If there is toxicity, it is their job to confront it, hand out warnings, hand out bans. Not complain about how horrible people are being and then walk away.

I've applied for an account on AO3; if all goes well, I might move all of my stories over there.
