I've started to see more and more burnout among community managers especially while things are so haywire in the world. Users taking general anxiety out on each other and all that, even sometimes just very unpredictable boosts of activity.

I definitely understand why burnout is so common right now. I mean, I'm a community manager myself and I'm feeling the strain. The other day, I had to step in to defuse a situation between two users that was really stressful. It's a lot of work to manage a community while so many people are feeling anxious and uncertain.
