Who is modding now, and where do the ex-mods go?

Mods are generally faceless, nameless entities for me. I only learn someone is a mod by mistake, and generally don’t retain that info. Recently, a couple absences managed to penetrate the thick layer of oblivion which is my mind, and these beings are, or rather were, also mods.
Is there a mod heaven? A separate mansion? A mod purgatory for perhaps using the “power” in a way not commensurate with the founder’s intent?
Is it all coincidence and I’m completely misreading because I don’t notice things?
I like Dog. It would be good to see her posts again.
Just curious on a Saturday morning…
