Apr 22, 2020 at 5:33 comment added Rand al'Thor Mod @Gilles Three of the candidates are already SE moderators, so one diamond or two wouldn't make any difference to their ability to deal with these issues. This question isn't about moderating Literature SE as such. Personally, my attitude (more details on main meta) is to continue caring for the sites I care for but not to waste energy trying to change a company that I have little-to-no leverage over. I want to be here and in tRR participating in this site, not in main meta and TL fighting a losing battle.

Apr 20, 2020 at 20:11 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' @Tsundoku Moderator-to-moderator communication was only a very small part of these issues. They were about interactions between Stack Exchange staff and moderators and other users, and among SE staff, as well as Stack Exchange attitudes and policies. I'm disappointed that three of the candidates don't address these issues at all and one says that ze will but does not say how or why this should happen on Stack Exchange rather than on a platform with different governance. This doesn't bode well for the survival of the community.
Apr 11, 2020 at 11:18 comment added Tsundoku Seeing that this question now has three downvotes, I would like to add that the intent of my first comment was not to invalidate the question, but only to point out that people without previous moderator experience would find it harder to answer without limiting themselves to general statements of intent.
Apr 4, 2020 at 17:13 comment added Mithical Mod @IkWeetHetOokNiet - Before becoming a mod? Not much. After becoming a mod? There's definitely stuff one can do if you've not been already burnt out and exhausted.
Apr 3, 2020 at 21:12 comment added Tsundoku The two stepping down posts talk about abusive behaviour and intolerant attitudes on Meta SE and among mods. Any candidate can read Meta SE, but to what extent can they make useful statements about moderator-to-moderator communication if they haven't been a mod before? I mean beyond generalities?
