That's a fairly popular opinion.
I will attempt to enhance the unpopularity of your opinion, by saying that in addition, mods that dont actively contribute to the communities they moderate, are likely in it just for the power dynamic they hold. That applies to Lemmy as well.
Eh, I'm a mod here and contribute. I just typically don't use my mod account unless I need tap the sign.
TAP THE SIGN
Now, before you tell me "this is a popular opinion wtf!", realize that this would get deleted on Reddit pretty quickly
The crux of this type of community. The popular opinion on Lemmy could be somewhere else's unpopular opinion and vice versa.
Considering Lemmy is the smaller site, it stands to reason our collective opinion is the minority of a lot of other places.

Yeah, that's why we added the optional guideline to tag opinions as generally unpopular or unpopular on Lemmy. Quite often, those are two very different things.
Wait... There are tags? I don't think they display on the app I use.
Not real tags, just [Tag] in the post title.
e.g. [General] Cheerios are the Best Cereal
Wait, I'm not sure whether to upvote or downvote this post.
Either way, you're not wrong.
Upvote if you consider it unpopular
Wow, that was so brave dude. Try this one:
I think mods are valuable members of the community and I bet most are super chill and care a great deal about seeing their community grow and thrive.

Nah, even on Reddit most people despise the moderators.
Hey everyone! Here’s my unpopular opinion:
“Reddit sucks!”
Being a Lemmy moderator is like a peeping hole to watch the Admins work magic.
True
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
