MODERATORS
 

Hey everyone,

The Fedihosting Foundation is looking for a new site-admin for Lemmy.World, to help our busy team. This moderator will help with reviewing and acting on reports, weighing in on user content, and helping foster our local communities while acting as a friendly neighbor to other fediverse instances.

You also DO NOT need to have an account on one of our FHF services but WILL have to create an account after joining. Users from other sites WELCOME!

Benefits:

  • You'll get to work with a great team of passionate kind, goofy individuals from all over the (lemmy) world!
  • We have weekly virtual hangouts where we brainstorm new ideas and catch up with each other. Community for us is not just a buzzword.
  • We can also provide work and personal references, as we are a registered legal non-profit.
  • While not a technical role, you will also gain exposure to best-in-class industry tooling and processes for large-scale hosted applications (aka modern DevOps).
  • We also run a small blog, that we'd love to have folks contribute to.
  • Join in on the editorial voice for our featured communities.
  • We also understand this is a hobby and that family and work come first
    • If you're having a hard time finding time or are busy, we will always do our best to help and support you.

Applicants should have the following qualities:

  • Experience moderating a diverse group of individuals from many geographic, religious, and LGBTQ+ backgrounds.
  • Able to commit to at least 5-10 hours a week.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and communication.
  • Solid background in conflict resolution.
  • Must be able to speak English.
  • Works well asynchronously with remote teams.
  • Grammar skills optional ๐Ÿ˜›

Bonus skills (which you will learn if you don't already)

  • SQL / Business Intelligence software skills.
  • N8N workflow automation
  • Web Design (Hugo + GitHub Pages).
  • Python scripting

Application process:

  • It goes without saying that we will only be considering applicants with a significant positive history of online posts and/or comments, no trolls, please.
  • Applicants must be okay with sitting for a video interview and must pass a basic background check.
  • While not strictly required, a CV with relevant work and volunteer history will help during the application process.
  • We are an international team that works from both North America EST time (-4) and Europe CEST (+2), so we would ask that candidates be flexible with their availability.

Please apply HERE https://forms.gle/epTdTy9Xh9kNFKsQA

If a potential candidate doesn't understand why there's a strong vetting process then then don't understand the changing paradigm of human communication. Teaching that is an unacceptable liability. The OpSec is on point. Great work. And, thank you for everything, including tolerance of those that don't yet understand why.

You don't get people with 5 years of experience if no one is willing to give you experience.

There was a line on 3rd rock from the sun that was so relatable to me as a teenager in the 90s.

Tommy, the oldest alien, now trapped in the teenagers body, is trying to get a job at a fast food place. The manager turns him down. And when Tommy asks why, the manager says "I can't hire you, you have no experience!"

And when Tommy asks how you get experience, the manager says "First you get a job". Tommy asks how you get a job, and the manager says "You need experience!"

Thanks, we are just trying to be careful.
