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 😛

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

(Edit: Updated post, thanks Donuts!)

(Edit2: Thanks for all the feed back on this post, it's much appreciated 💗💗💗)

(Edit3: If you feel like you'd fit in, apply, the req's that we posted are more of a suggestion, then a hard yes or no)

Solid background in conflict resolution, that’s me, every time without fail

When they open up a position for chief arguer though I’ll be all over it

Halo!

Yo no hablo muy bueno español...

¿Quizás no hay muchos usuarios que hablen español?

If you ain't got a quesadilla in your pocket you better keep it moving esse, before someone gets hurt

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Edit: phrasing and format, improved a bit

¡ya lo sabes!

Siempre llevo una quesadilla de frijoles en el bolsillo...

Y ni se te ocurra pensar que me olvido de la botella de salsa picante en mi "bolso", que siempre llevo conmigo

¡jajajaja!

Oh, trying to make me put in an honest day's work, huh? Okay then, just for that, I nominate BonesOfTheMoon!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm woefully under qualified but you and I keep Lemmy hopping.

You forgot to tag FlyingSquid?

Wah? Huh? Me? Admin? I don't know anything about web design or legal compliance or social media marketing or anything. I'm flattered though, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

web design or legal compliance or social media marketing

Fuck all that. It's not needed.

They need someone with strong reading comprehension, who can consistently reason their way from an ideology to the specific situation, then write professionally. Mods work the collective que of reports independently.

If you don't want the gig no one one is owed an explanation. But, please don't judge yourself underqualified for the wrong reasons.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Well apparently I'm not positive or productive, so I guess I'm not qualified after all.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

When I said to consider yourself, you asked me to consider another's opinion of you that you disagree with.

If you can dish it out then you'll see right though such bullshit when it regularly pops up in the mod que ;)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (9 children)

Sorry, it's been a long day.

You are welcome!...I think, hahaha

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I feel like „site admin“ is a bit misleading. Then again, lemmy doesnt have a proper distinction between local and site wide moderators afaik.

I‘d be interested to help with real admin stuff like docker containers, dns and firewalls. Let me know if that interests you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I do not qualify...

...and I do not think my posts have "a significant positive history of online posts and/or comments"...

Awesome, either way, keep up the good and hard work y'all do!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That’s a strange thing to admit.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Well, I am okay with being honest on the matter, hahaha

If you are willing to be, I know I may not qualify, but I do encourage others that may to apply!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Must be able to speak English

Ah, fuck, I’m out. It’s one of the only languages I haven’t learned. Were this a post seeking Sanskrit, Mayan, Akkadian, or High Valyrian language speakers, I’d be just the right candidate.

Pop quiz: which of the above is not a historical language? If you guessed Klingon, your reading comprehension skills are for shit. The answer is English. It’s completely made up and only appears in Fantasy genre stories – along with birds and flying spaghetti monsters and hobbits.

Wow, I’m really bored at work, I guess. Glad it’s Friday. Hope you all have a nice weekend.
