大家好!Due to the previous mod being inactive, I requested to overtake the moderation of this community. I'm usually not the person that likes to moderate, but I like the fediverse and I like Chinese, so it'd feel bad to let this community be ignored. As long as there aren't a huge influx of new people, I'd expect and hope that there won't be too much that I'll have to moderate. If that's the case, I'd gladly take any help that's offered (or maybe someone wants to act as an extra mod already?).

And as for me, I have studied Chinese for a couple of years and I've also lived in Taiwan. My interest in Chinese mainly comes from appreciation of the language itself as well as ancient Chinese culture, religion and poetry. My nickname on here actually comes from the Tang poet Wei Yingwu 韋應物. I'm far from fluent but I hope to keep up this lifelong journey :)

I hope to see this community keep growing!

Very glad to see this and your general efforts over the last few months to keep here alive!

Would always be happy to act as an extra pair of hands with moderation if you ever need it.

Thank you, and good to know! I appreciate your contributions too 🙏

I feel the same way as you. I do not typically seek out mod positions, but since nobody else has done it for some interests of mine on the Fediverse, someone has to step up. I'd be very happy to relinquish power to someone more qualified who actually wants the job, but until then…
