The stats on mod burnout from that 2023 survey caught me off guard

I always figured most mods quit because of toxic users or lack of support. Then I read the Community Signal 2023 survey that said 61% of mods leave because of the social pressure to be online 24/7. Not the drama, not the trolls. Just feeling guilty if they step away for a weekend. That hit different. Has anyone else felt that weird obligation to always be checking in?

Guilt's a weird reason to quit, honestly.

But isn't guilt sometimes just your gut screaming the truth?
