MODERATORS
 

With the constant growth of our mod team and the demanding nature of actually having lives outside of niche internet communities, Ada and I have come to the decision that the mod team once again needs to expand.
Applications work the same way they did the last two mod calls:
Post a brief write-up on yourself and why you think we should give you moderator status, as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.) If you don't want your alts to be public, you can send them as a private DM to me. Applications don't have a fixed close date, but we're looking for at least four new mods in multiple time zones.

I will be personally selecting all new additions to the mod team. Please be civil, and good luck!

I am a big fan of the reddit 196, this one seems cool as well.

What does a moderator actually do?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

delete stuff that violates our rules

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Not much, apparently.

How many characters would I be moderating? I believe in structured moderation, where I am only required to monitor the interactions of the same 32 or so characters in this community. Moderators under this system work together by not monitoring each other's characters. So, that works out to a strict 32:1 character:mod ratio.

Hello I'd love to help out the community, I am currently a mod on [email protected] and I also have experience modding back on Reddit as well.

I dont have any social media accounts more active than this one, but if you still need any more help I keep odd hours and am always available to remove obviously suspect comments. if you can see my reports and comments, thats about all I have as credentials go.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

[email protected] was my mastodon, if thats even still up.

Why did someone just get unbanned to be appointed as a mod?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

apparently they got banned by a troll mod and said so in a comment here, I dont get how they could make a comment while banned tho x3 or maybe they talked to the mods in private and then made a comment here

as well as a link to at least one other social media account. (reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, mastodon, tumblr, bluesky are all accepted.)

For the extremely rare case of someone who somehow doesn't have ANY other social media, I'm sure we can work something out.

Hello! I'm not qualified for the position of internet moderator 🥰

But I hope y'all find some good peeps. This is an important little space for me, and good moderation is crucial to maintaining that :3

This poor actress that took this stupid AI-written role. She’ll forever be a meme because she was tricked and clearly miserable.i feel like we should replace her face with the assholes who funded and put this piece of shit on.

Any 196 mods, new or old that are on Matrix, please let me know. We have a matrix mod bot that will help deal with spam attacks that we can set you up with.

I have no life outside of Lemmy. I'm obviously the best choice.

if you're still interested, you can fill out an application

Hi, if you still need more mods I would gladly help out!

I primarily reside in the MST/MDT timezone, and spend a pretty good amount of time browsing here and the general fediverse (https://blahaj.land/@ty), so I would be able to give it my all when required. Unfortunately I don't post much myself mainly due to a lack of creativity and just because most of the memes I have are from c/196 itself, though I really love the community that has developed here

As for existing experience, I moderate/admin a (at present) 131626 member discord server surrounding a Minecraft mod (I can give you the invite and/or my username if you want), so I have experience dealing with people and helping resolve issues as fast as I can when needed. I have been doing staff-related roles in that server since December 1st 2020, so I am not very new to moderating online spaces :)

If you still need mods, then sure!
