I want to apply. I'm woke

It's a pity that it is limited to lemmy.ml :/
👉👈 pls can me be mod uwu
Hell yea
I think memes also needs a couple more rules. Specifically I think the posts should be memes.
just a question: is moderating any different in lemmy than reddit? like can a moderator power trip here?
Mod actions are of the shadow type, as in users don't get to know if they're blocked/hidden/etc unless they have a hunch and go check the modlog.
Modlog is more transparent but the former reason makes power tripping / shaping a community to the whims of a mod easy.
I don't know if there're any reporting tools to inform instance admins if a mod is going rogue
I've been posting a bunch and could help out if you need it.
- I'm on lemmy.ml
- I have posted here several times, some posts reaching 500+ upvotes
- Can enforce rules
Why limit it to lemmy.ml?
Its a good idea to have communities moderated by local users, in case there are any issues with federation or reports federating.
I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.
Overall I'm not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I'll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.
Done, thanks!
Possible sequel to Mars Needs Moms: Memes Needs Mods
I’ll take one for the team, bang through some privileges and I’ll start moderating the shit out of this community.
No pooping, beans and stroganoff for everyone!
No poop for you!
Man, what a poop nazi.
Instructions unclear. posts more beef stroganoff memes
The hell u talkin' 'bout, boyeee?
Just out of curiosity, what's the advantage to them having their account on the same Instance as the community?
there are bugs on moderating communities on other instances. like mode actions do not propagate to federated instances if done from a different instance.
but don't take my word for it, i don't have a source.
Less likely to accidentally loose access due to defederation? 🤷♂️
Yea that makes sense.
Federation shenanigans would be my guess. If you were on instance B and moderating instance A then instance B admins would have control of your account instead of instance A admins. So if for some reason instance B admins decide to ban that user then they are prevented from moderating for instance A.
