I'll put my name forward as a potential mod but whoever you pick, just please for the love of god make sure they aren't a tankie. You can usually sus them out by asking about the holodomor or the molotov-ribbentrop pact.

MODERATORS
Hi there, I'm interested in becoming a mod because I run a bunch of events on 196s discord server, as well as run the 195 community here on lemmy as the sole moderator. 195 was originally 196 before this version was created, and has nearly as many active users. I also have a little bit of prior experience moderating on other websites like reddit and discord. (I'm also very much not a tankie) thanks!
Congrats, welcome to the mod team. I leave the community in your hands :)
Thank you!
Do I need to make a separate account to moderate a community on a different instance? This account is on Lemmy.world
I would be interested in being a mod, honestly just want people to not be jerks, we can disagree just don't be mean.
Also Trans Rights are Human rights. Human rights are non-negotiable.
basically this IMO
-
be excellent to each other
-
party on dudes*
*pending gender neutralization
gotta neutralize all them genders
idk where the discourse regarding the "gender neutral dude" landed, although I considered swapping it out for "amigo" but that obviously has its own gendered nature, although I think in English it is suitable neutered ("amiga" means nothing to English speakers except to computer nerds)
I just found that a bit funny, dw. also, as a native Spanish speaker, I do find "amigo/a" a tad annoying hahaha. guess gender neutralization™ is somewhat difficult hahahahahab :'D
I don't even know what a 196 is
Rule 196 is a simple rule: if you enter the "sub" (obviously from reddit), you must post before leaving.
It usually ends up being very random, which leads it to both being easy and very difficult to moderate.
For a long time the original reddit version had some toxicity and lots of porn (or at least NSFW content). If it isn't marked NSFW, I'd do that and (assuming NSFW is allowed on lemmy.blahaj) mostly leave it be unless there's something really problematic and/or potentially illegal.
Honestly have no idea how to even moderate these communities. Reddit was hard enough without 3rd party tools.
Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?
I can play custodian if you need it. It'd be super lame to see this community get goofed on by spam or bigoted stuff, after managing to regrow so fast.
I hereby submit myself for consideration. I firmly oppose authoritarian apologists and jerks.
