I started to see a good amount of posts that is posted in the wrong communities and kept, it's like anyone can take any statement and post it in any community, because why not?

I would not be surprised currently if I had seen a apple posted in the bananas community.

Did moderators here give up or what is happening?

Mods have a finite amount of time.

There are two things that you can do:

If a post violates community rules, you can report it, which will help bring it to their attention more-quickly.
You could volunteer to moderate a community that you feel is undermoderated, which will help decrease the load on the existing moderators.

I report some posts and they never get a mod action.

Would you trust a 1 week account to moderate any community? Simply that is not something feasible for me.

I would. Modlogs are public

Modlogs are public

...and hardly ever written.

Give it time, participate in a community you like, gain their trust, volunteer to mod, and wait for the opportunity to ~~strike~~ help out.
