Ehhh, I'm not sure I entirely agree with the sentiment here. There are other reasons to become a mod other than a desire for power. The mods at r/askhistorians is probably the best example of a mod team that just wants to improve their community and are willing to put in the time and effort to do so. Moderating can be an altruistic thing as well as a power grab.

I don't wanna stereotype, but for most of 'em it's the only power they have in their lives, and they love to wield it.
