I would be interested in being a mod, honestly just want people to not be jerks, we can disagree just don't be mean.
Also Trans Rights are Human rights. Human rights are non-negotiable.
basically this IMO
be excellent to each other
party on dudes*
*pending gender neutralization
gotta neutralize all them genders
idk where the discourse regarding the "gender neutral dude" landed, although I considered swapping it out for "amigo" but that obviously has its own gendered nature, although I think in English it is suitable neutered ("amiga" means nothing to English speakers except to computer nerds)
I just found that a bit funny, dw. also, as a native Spanish speaker, I do find "amigo/a" a tad annoying hahaha. guess gender neutralization™ is somewhat difficult hahahahahab :'D
Hi there, I'm interested in becoming a mod because I run a bunch of events on 196s discord server, as well as run the 195 community here on lemmy as the sole moderator. 195 was originally 196 before this version was created, and has nearly as many active users. I also have a little bit of prior experience moderating on other websites like reddit and discord. (I'm also very much not a tankie) thanks!
Congrats, welcome to the mod team. I leave the community in your hands :)
Thank you!
Do I need to make a separate account to moderate a community on a different instance? This account is on Lemmy.world
I just sent a new report through for your post saying "test report". That should appear soon in the shield icon notifications at the top of the page
I didn't get it. I also don't see 196 in my mod list on my profile. Are you sure you added me?
You're showing as a mod on my end. I wonder if it's a version issue? We haven't upgraded to 17.3 or 17.4 yet.
Maybe?? I'm only showing up as a mod on the homepage of 196 on the blahaj.lemmy instance. Everywhere else, I don't show up as a mod
I'll poke @supakaity@lemmy.blahaj.zone and see if we can upgrade to the lemmy RC sometime this weekend, and hopefully that will resolve it.
Lol thank you. 😅😅😅 Sorry to have turned out to be much more of a headache than I intended
Not your fault! There's something weird going on there on our end.
Appreciate it.
Done!
If you want to make an account in Blahaj lemmy until we get the moderation federation sorted out, you're welcome to do so
Hello this is my new alt for the time being
Confirming this is me
Oh awesome if this doesn't magically fix itself in the next 10 minutes I'll fill out the application.
Nope, you should be able to moderate across instances just fine.
You'll have a shield icon on the top of your screen where report notifications will appear, though you likely won't see old reports. You'll get new ones from this point on though.
You should also be able to see historical actions in the modlog link on the right info panel for the community. You should see new options under the 3 dot menu for users in the sub, as well as (hopefully) having an edit link for the the community itself at the top right of the information panel for the community
Got it. I'm familiar with the moderation system, 195's given me a bit of practice
I can play custodian if you need it. It'd be super lame to see this community get goofed on by spam or bigoted stuff, after managing to regrow so fast.
I'll put my name forward as a potential mod but whoever you pick, just please for the love of god make sure they aren't a tankie. You can usually sus them out by asking about the holodomor or the molotov-ribbentrop pact.
Rule 196 is a simple rule: if you enter the "sub" (obviously from reddit), you must post before leaving.
It usually ends up being very random, which leads it to both being easy and very difficult to moderate.
For a long time the original reddit version had some toxicity and lots of porn (or at least NSFW content). If it isn't marked NSFW, I'd do that and (assuming NSFW is allowed on lemmy.blahaj) mostly leave it be unless there's something really problematic and/or potentially illegal.
Honestly have no idea how to even moderate these communities. Reddit was hard enough without 3rd party tools.
Honestly, most of the reports that have come through don't even require action as far as I can tell. The biggest issue is, as the instance admin, I don't want to be dealing with reports for a community and making those calls, when many of them aren't breaking instance rules.
As long as the blahaj lemmy instance rules are followed, I don't care how the community is moderated, as long as it is :)
Absolutely, 100% fair. Eventually it'll get to be too much for you to handle even if you wanted to.
I'm going to have to catch up on all the different instances' rules.
I wonder if any automoderation tools exist for Lemmy yet? I'd be willing to take a crack at building some but if an open-source project for that already exists I'd rather contribute there.
Unfortunately there don't seem to be any functional tools yet, but I've seen a few people mention interest so there might be some brand new projects.
@ShittyKopper appears to be working on something called @lemmod publicly on a community on this instance I don't know how much progress they made.
I hereby submit myself for consideration. I firmly oppose authoritarian apologists and jerks.
I'd gladly help out, I have have mod experience being a moderator for a discord server (for a Minecraft mod). Never done anything mod-related for reddit/lemmy, but I'm sure it's not too different. I have lurked on r/196 for a while and really like the community and the idea (funny shitposting meme community but with a side of queerness). I didn't really interact much beyond upvoting on the subreddit, but I'm going to try and be more active and involved on this new platform :)
I don't even know what a 196 is
You and me both ;)
Basically a shitposting subreddit looking for a home. But in a good way.
Im in for it but im transitioning (ha) between diffrent jobs now and if i get my new one it'll be 6 day 12 hour shifts. What im saying is that I'd love to help but my availability might be limited
I've never moderated anything before, but I am willing to try.
Never moderated anything before, how much of a time commitment is it usually?
On lemmy, for this community? I have zero idea!
I'm interested in becoming a mod. I really like the friendly and progressive community that's formed on Lemmy, and I want to help maintain it.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
