Then it is real easy for it to be infested to become a commie hellhole. There are only 2 kinds ways a sensible capitalist person would become an unpaid/low-paid moderator.
- They have a lot of passion for the project (Mostly an official thread of a project they are involved in or a website like https://mises.org/wire)
- They are gaining something indirectly for maintaining (Like an investment community where people discuss ways to make money)
indeed, much of disqus is a commie hell hole!
