I’ll admit, ever since the API changes and strike, I have not really moderated this subreddit (or really any subreddit) that much, but as mentioned above, I still handle the Apple Event megathreads each time as I love experiencing the Apple Events with all of you.
So you were doing little mod work overall, someone else can create a megathread those 2/3 times a week and you can still interact “with all of us” like you love so much.
I don’t care at all who is a mod or isn’t.
Option 3: You were already not doing much with your mod position during most of the year. The obvious choice is right there, leave the mod team and let others pick up the slack on the events (which is a time a lot of people is probably interested, so likely other mods are available as well), or get a new mod that would actually do more than just show up 2 or 3 times a year.
You can still contribute and be a part of the community without being a mod.
