> moderators are supposed to be the people who actually take actions to steward a community, not people who claim a title and never take action, not people who abuse the privileges to push an agenda, not people who do things that aren’t in the interest of the communities they serve. Not absentee founders.

I'm not the OP but that context makes it pretty obvious the OP is being figurative.

Yes, and poorly. Like the rest of the post is an argument, but a poor one.

It's a clear play on another old pithy saying: "Love is a verb, not a noun." Maybe you just missed the reference.

The rest of the comment describes things that did, in fact, happen. So what's the problem?
