Today, we cleaned up the posts and reports for this community. When I was handed the reigns, there were ~70 unresolved reports. There are now 0.

I don't want another community to moderate, but if I must take one on, this is a great one. With that being said, if you want to help out, reply to this post, and after reviewing your history, you might become a ~~wizard~~ moderator.

That's up to the mods here, not me. I jumped in to clean it up (nazi postings were rampant), then find volunteers to take over.

I was top mod for less than an hour before I found suitable replacements.

full transparency - I advised them you might not be a good fit, as you didn't moderate when you were a mod of this community.

I like you mate but calling a little BS. People don't do nazi crap anymore. At least I have never seen it in lemmy.world. And if you did see it you should have messaged me because I love to hate nazi's and the like. I like the whole...i'll quit there before I get on a soap box.

The mod logs are right there.

https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/u/Morganalefay@fedinsfw.app was the person doing it. There were 70 reports in mod queue.

The fact you don't know that but are calling it BS is amazingly telling.

I meant it tongue in cheek. Nazi crap is (in my opinion) a banable offense. I have the desktop wall paper of Captain America pointing at me with the words written below : I Want You To Punch Nazi's. Punch Every God Damn One.
