Hey there guys! After today’s fiasco, I decided that we need some moderators that aren’t me or Ada. If you would like to be a moderator, please reply to this post with why you think you would be a good mod, and any previous social medias that I can check out just to make sure you’re not a troll (reddit is the most useful but twitter/mastodon/whatever works too).

Well I’m glad this is happening I was just trying to reply to your previous post but it turned out it was removed in the process of me writing the comment. The short of it was that a community of almost 10k needs more than one mod, because while there are three mod accounts two are you and the third is a dead account. Please do your absolute best when deciding who to give moderation control over 196 as I don’t doubt there will almost certainly be bad actors who try to get mod so they can sabotage this place, it sure wouldn’t be the first time this community has been targeted.

Yeah totally. I’ve needed more moderators for a while now, but I’ve been really worried about bad actors. I know what might seem drastic to some to ask for alternate socials and shit but seriously I feel like its more than necessary at this point

To me it feels like you take this seriously and are invested in the community, which I love to see. I hope it gets easier with new helping hands and I really like this instance, thank you for your amazing work

I’m a former moderator of reddit’s nonbinary meme sub, and current moderator of chaotes vs patriarchy and soulism 101. Very left, and very plugged into forms of ableism and transphobia that might not be apparent to the vast majority of people.

Hey there, social worker from germany here, working in sexual paedagogics, willing to give some time to weed through the hate.

No mod experience, no reddit poweruser, but from my profile should be clear that i am no troll/asshole

If you have more questions i am happy to answer them

Best wishes

Welcome aboard! Here’s the rules: join the discord link I sent you via DM. If you feel someone deserves to be banned please send their username/a screenshot of them to the discord, along with why they need to be banned i.e. image of their comment reason:transphobia. Then you can go ahead and ban them. If I end up feeling like it’s not actually a bannable offense I’ll go in and restore them to the community. Removing content does not need to be run by me. Also, no making other people mods.

Just a heads up, once a mod marks a report as resolved, the admins won’t see it, so if someone needs to be banned from the whole instance, make sure you drop me a DM

Heyo, figured I’d try to apply here.

I hate bigots, tankies, and nazis. I like shitposts, not posts that are shit.

I currently am co-admin of a discord server of 200+ people (but like 30 or so that are active every day), and was elected when the admin left.

Here’s my personal mastodon page for reference: https://todon.eu/@queue

Probably not going to be chosen, but I wanna help.
