MODERATORS
 

after today I have decided that we need a larger mod team. Please leave applications in the comments. Same rules as last time. Thank you.

I think you should slow down and wait a few days.

Edit: I've read some post history and see you started talking about the need for mods a month ago.

I read this post as opportunistic, but I can also empathize that you probably feel the desparation for moderation more than I can feel it.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the need for more moderators has been an ongoing thing for months, and the past few days our workload has like quadrupled and now that everyone's pissed at us it's even worse.

I hope you find and appoint a few excellent new mods so that you and Ada can get that weight off of your shoulders.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We have a whole team at this point there's 5 people other than me and ada and it's still not enough. Worse still anything they do I'm accountable for so I have to vet them THROUGHLY

I'm happy to apply if it means I can ban you

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 year ago

You're welcome to apply, but as I check every application with the pre-existing mod team, unlikely to be accepted.
Still, if you really want to apply be my guest! please link any alternative social medias you may have so I can check if you fit what we're looking for.

Can mods ban other mods? Is there a hierarchy system like reddit where older mods can ban newer mods?

[–] NinjaFox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

Hey, I moderate egg_irl as well and would be happy to lend a hand here to take some pressure off

[–] Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would be a good idea to link to "last time" for ppl who weren't there then btw

That looks like a link to a post about the canopener bridge, which I assume was not what you intended.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lemmy bug. Try opening it in a new tab

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh, interesting. It's broken in the connect app but not in the browser.

I need to find a different app actually, the connect app has some big issues for me.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Try infinity for lemmy! It's my go-to!

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

[–] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Was something wrong with my application last time? I had the top voted comment out of the applications so it can't have been that bad, was it?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Oh shoot mb check back in ~30 seconds

[–] threegnomes@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hi I was one of the original mods, but I wasn't active and got removed. I'm way more active now and would love to join the team.

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Welcome back! I'll send you an invite to the discord

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd like to apply I guess. This is pretty much the only community I'm truly active in so might aswell

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Awesome! Any info we should know or alternate socials I can check?

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I used to be the top mod of "GenericTransSubreddit" before I got permabanned from Reddit for saying "Men would blame everything else before ever admitting that toxic masculinity is the source of their misery". While I think you guys might be cool with that I feel I should still bring it up just in case that's a bit too "inflammatory" to be mod here hahaha

Account name was "RheoKalyke" before I got nuked by the neckbeard gods

Tbh I kinda worry for that sub sometimes. I try to move on but it's in the hands of Matilda and co now and I hope they run it well 🥲

[–] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I applied last time and I'll apply again. Same deal, I'm neurodivergent and queer as all hell and I have experience in queer meme spaces.

I don't want to, which makes me the most qualified, but still no way. Mods suck.

i don't know i guess il moderate a guilded server

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd like to be a mod

The amount of stuff I've reported since I scooted over here is a decent amount and I'd like to have the ability to stop the spread of.

Plus with my janky schedule it might help cover some thinner spots in schedules of other mods.

Edit: I do have other accounts on a couple other instances, if you'd like to check those out I could share them with you as well. Though I won't share them publicly, they'd be shared via a DM.

Never modded before but I'm a neurodivergent queer adult with a day job, so I won't be terminally online, but equally you shouldn't have to worry about me doing anything nutso. Just want to give back to the community a little
