Greetings, everyone!

Looking to make a difference in our community? We need your help! We’re seeking active members like you to join our moderator team.

As a moderator, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining a positive environment, addressing reported issues, and fostering community growth. We’re particularly interested in individuals who actively contribute to our community by regularly reviewing posts and comments for adherence to our rules. While we understand that reading every comment in detail may not be possible, we expect a few minutes of your time, checking the site 2 - 3 times a day, at minimum.

If you’re passionate about our community and eager to contribute, please leave a comment below expressing your interest in becoming a moderator. Share a brief explanation of why you believe you’d be an excellent fit for the role.

Please note that active participation as a moderator is crucial. If selected, it’s important to fulfill your mod responsibilities consistently. Failure to do so may result in the removal of your moderator position.

PS: Effective communication is key to our moderation team’s success. If selected, we’ll require you to be available on Discord for coordination with other moderators and community-related discussions.

Thank you for your consideration!

I check Lemmy about twice a day, work in and foster a collegial environment, and have a background in science. I can’t say I would be intensely active, but currently there is less than 1 post per day here, so even a little would lighten the load.

Sorry, I didn’t see the thing about Discord. I’m not going to use that.
