I could not have imagined becoming a moderator and embedding myself deeply into a community. But I have. Nothing is more rewarding than keeping a community engaged and watching everyone enjoy themselves especially through a bear market. The following are three things I've learned.

Touch Grass

It's easy to get so far down the rabbit hole of crypto that we get stuck there. All we can think about is what we do in the online world. We start becoming removed. So get out there and touch some grass. Go for a bike ride. Go to the gym. Walk your dog. Anything to get your mind off things.

This holds true both for mods and other community members. But especially for mods because we can often be the target of community members who become upset for one reason or another. Maybe close DMs from time to time?. Also, exercise helps alot. Stop being a couch potato ????

Be respectful

Sometimes people can be disrespectful especially when voicing their opinion. Keep in mind, no matter how good your points are, people won't listen to you if they don't like you. Be respectful.

Have Fun

I had a lot of fun connecting with community members, sharing ideas, our favorite foods, favorite projects, and so much more. So just have fun.
