About This Trend

A moderator is a person responsible for overseeing and regulating a discussion, debate, or online community to ensure a productive and respectful exchange of ideas.

According to Cambridge English Dictionary, a moderator's role is to help people or groups reach an agreement. The term has been trending due to the increasing demand for remote content moderators in the tech industry, as seen on job listing platforms like Indeed and ZipRecruiter. Additionally, a YouTube video titled 'Sad News: Our Longest Serving Moderator Has Passed Away' has contributed to the trend. A feature article on Cambridge English Dictionary provides more information on the role of a moderator.
