I'm not sure if you've ever moderated anything volunteer based but.. honestly you can't give the internet anything nice.

But then why did they get rid of the comments that were old, locked, and useful? Sometimes it feels like Duolingo cares less and less about whether or not people learn languages. It's not surprising, but unfortunate.

I'm not saying it was the ideal thing, I'm saying people mostly suck and moderating something sucks a lot less when you can fire the person who decided to say "pinche tu madre" meant "have a nice day."
