It's not an issue of willing users. I'd step up, too. New mods have to either be approved by admin or by existing mods. You're asking a power tripper to dilute their "power" voluntarily.

Yes I'm aware of how the promotion to moderator works as i am one in a sub of similar size to this on a separate account as this is my personal one.

In aforementioned subreddit there is a mod team of 11 people, able to cover much more ground and get a better opinion on what the sub should be all about.

As far as diluting the power voluntarily goes maybe it wouldn't be so much about a strip of power completely but just taking a step back while some others form a good outline of what the sub should look like

Got my vote. I'm skeptical that the mod in question would do any such thing voluntarily. Looking at their history and the comments made? Nah, this person is utterly convinced of their superior position and fully believes they are taking out the trash.

It's not outward-looking care for the community, it's inward-looking narcissism.
