Hi all, I wanted to let you know about an incident that happened a few days back. An individual requested to become a mod on c/Portland when they thought there was no moderators due to a federation issue. Then, an admin mistakenly made them a mod.

I reached out to the admins to let them know I was upset by such a mistake happening on their part. I also de-modded the individual, but tried to encourage them to make a post getting input from all of you about becoming a mod. I'm honestly not against them becoming a mod.

I think having more mods would actually help this place grow. If you've posted here at least a few times, and are interested in volunteering, nominate yourself below.

I doubt anyone will have any red flags to call out, but if you do contact me about it or post.

Thanks all. I hope you were able to stay cool these past few days.

The admins finally responded after a few days, but by then I had already removed the other user as a mod (the method to do so is a bit hidden).

Currently there are two mods, myself and @absolutebeginner@lemmy.ml who created this community, but has since deleted all their posts and hasn't posted again in years. In order to remove a mod though you need to click into a post they made. With no posts, I can't remove absolutebeginner even if I wanted to.
