"33% of [Mastodon] mods/admins have experienced burnout". From a survey conducted by @jaz per session notes (which will go on-line shortly. As I'm reviewing, I came across this nugget, and it is shocking!!).

@J12t It really shouldn't be surprising, honestly.

I've been part of building Internet communities for over 20 years and one of the single biggest points of advice I give is to take the workload seriously.

@J12t @jaz I'm guessing it's even higher than that. Not all of us got through the survey on time.

@kristinHenry @jaz is the reason for burnout more the time commitment, the content that needs to be moderated, or the human conflict around it, or … in your experience?

@J12t @jaz For me, it's been the human conflict around it. After the initial waves of new sign ups, I got much better managing time spent on it.

@J12t @jaz

Have the notes gone up? Missed the session. Mainly curious as to how the survey question was contextualized. For example was "experiencing burnout" primarily attributed to moderating or the general, ever present burnout from the last few years, including dealing with things like major layoffs across the tech sector
