Toilet has lid for a reason, to cover it when not in use. I am constantly flabbergasted that more people don’t get that. Do they leave the mayo lidless in the fridge too because it makes it easier to make a sandwich??
The lid is only for blocking the toilet if you are about to risk dropping something in there accidentally. If you aren’t doing anything complicated in the bathroom or need to sit or stand on the lid for some reason, it’s just in the way.
Otherwise, keep the lid up and the seat down for quick access in diarrhea situations.
We keep the lids down on our toilets to keep the dogs and cats out of them. Never seen mold growing on them at all. We have plastic, slow-close lids though. Maybe regular lids are more prone to that?
It’s true, the bathroom connected to our guest bedroom doesn’t get a lot of use. We keep that lid up with the bathroom door closed (to keep the cats out of the water) to avoid the mold. I’ve never encountered that problem on a toilet used even once a week though.
Everyone closes the lid completely when they’re done. Problem solved. Equality established. World peace flourishes.

If you have pets ymmv.
That’s what I do but my sister said it can evidently grow mold on the seat cover if you don’t use it for a few days :(

I hadn’t had issues either but a lot of people seem to. I don’t have wooden, only plastic, so maybe that is why.

Yeah I think only if we’re out of the house for extended periods of time.
My wife and I just have separate bathrooms. We’re both nesters, so sharing wasn’t working.
Ahh, the Two-State Solution to peace.
