MODERATORS
There is a current initiative to get new mods for communities that are being used, but have inactive mods. Whether that covers any of these and what exactly the criteria are for "inactive", I do not know.
I mod 3 very small communities (less than 800 subscribers total) but other than creating the communities and posting some content to get the ball rolling I haven’t actually done any modding. I’m not sure what there is to do. No one has tagged or messaged me, no ones reported anything… am I inactive, redundant or just a terrible mod?!
Just ban a random user each week to show you're still active.
You have enough users to make it at least 800 weeks!
I offer myself as tribute 🥺
You have been permanently banned from !wimbledon@sh.itjust.works I bet you’re gutted… 😂
I’m not happy about. But I did what must be done. They will remember me.
Hey man, I just put it to a vote and the community (me) have decided to honour your sacrifice by making a new header/banner thing dedicated to you. Something real classy in MS paint maybe?
You’re too kind. The knowledge that I’ll be in the hearts and mind of the community (you), is honor enough, new friend.
Goddammit, the only option is to ban myself from one of them…
Are you really banning yourself when you're SomeoneElse?
Gotta keep them on their toes and show them who's boss!
Lemmy is still small enough that you may just be getting lucky with everyone behaving themselves. If no one is reporting anything, just try to stay in-the-loop with the general goings on in the community so you can jump in if something does happen.
I run a small community of under 100 users. Everyone's been following the rules so far, and there hasn't been very much that has needed my attention. I still try to make an occasional post and interact with posts that other users make (favorite, boost, comment).
I think that if you're at least interacting with your communities in some way, you should be good!
I just experienced my first actual report. 🙃
I thought I was going to have to sticky a “friendly reminder; no transphobia” post earlier. It was touch and go but I think it came down on the right side of the discussion/argument divide.
What was your report? Did you get ban-happy?!
