I’m on a French mental health server Discord for a couple of months now(it’s an association) I say my life on a regular basis, and say it when I’m not ok, my family is mean with me I’m friend with a couple of people there, a couple of moderators gave me support and someone said they were worried about me ,to send private messages when I need Recently there are more people on the server, and they said we could ask to be moderators, a couple of people became moderators recently A few days ago, there had been an issue with someone talking not nicely to people and I found moderators to be too kind, and not being able to be respected At this time, I thought " I’m benevolent, but I would not let this person be not nice to others if it was me" And the thought of becoming a moderator came I’m on Discord a lot of time every day recently I just wonder if it’s Ok to be moderator if I ask help a lot Sometimes I need to back off when there’s too negativity too as it stresses me What do you think? ---
