But this isn't voluntary moderation (though that might also have that issue), this is about the people who moderate for a living. So people on Facebook, or X (formerly known as Twitter), who see the posts that you report, and have to work with all of that.

Those people typically aren't going around just hoovering up a mod spot for the fun of it.
