Yes, they do. And while I don't get it on here either, at least they don't line the pockets of some shitty company. Some moderation is necessary, and I guess I should be happy about other people doing it for free here.

People do it because they care. I ran /r/StarTrek for over a decade because I wanted a specific type of community to exist that didn't elsewhere, and reddit made it easy.

Of course, reddit eventually screwed me (and all of us) with their greed and there was no way to move what we'd built. If a nonprofit reddit-like site existed back then I would hopefully have had the foresight to use it instead.
