MODERATORS
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.
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.
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
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.
Welcome back! I'll send you an invite to the discord
Would be a good idea to link to "last time" for ppl who weren't there then btw
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?
That looks like a link to a post about the canopener bridge, which I assume was not what you intended.
Lemmy bug. Try opening it in a new tab
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.
Try infinity for lemmy! It's my go-to!
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
I don't want to, which makes me the most qualified, but still no way. Mods suck.
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 know i guess il moderate a guilded server
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
I'm happy to apply if it means I can ban you
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.
