In August of this year, I was promoted to Discord mod after the application process had been finished - but nothing could have prepared me for how ill equipped I was to deal with MFGG's... unique circumstances.
Moderating a community that has over a decade of deep-seated drama is an incredibly difficult task, one that I believed would be easy, and one that I offered to do simply because it looked like staff "needed a hand," in my own words. Turns out, staff needs more than a hand; it needs an arm and a leg. To make it short, this has been weighing on my mind for awhile. After considering others' comments on my performance as well as my own shortcomings as a moderator, I'm ready to step down in the wake of what's happening; I feel that I am ill equipped to continue being part of the staff.
These past two days have not been good for my mental or physical wellbeing. It's been four months, MFGG, but I'm not going to make any comment on whether they were good or bad.
