Can I throw my hat in the ring? I'm a history fan, I don't subscribe to any religious beliefs that inform or perverse my understanding of history, and I have some free time.

Let me see what my mate says but your kind of internet young here.
Fair. I also commented on the other Mods earlier post about it and told them that this account is just a month old.
All right we will give it a shot. We both agreed so if you turn out like the other I can only take 50% of the blame lol jk welcome aboard.
Thanks!
And oh yeah! I read some of that person's posts, and even went through their profile. What a rabbit hole that was. I still can't 100% tell if it's the biggest shit poster I've ever come across online or just that wild!
If you don't find anybody better suiting, I would help as mod.
I am not a historian though, I did my PhD in chemistry.
I liked and read askhistorian a lot on the other site before I left and like to learn more. Therefore I would like to help out here, if nobody else better suited steps up.
However:
Non historian
No prior experience with modding
I wish you all the best on picking a new mod.
Know of any? It is what I consider a laid back job. Just looking for people who can Knowledge Bomb others and once in a while get rid of the hate and the rules are kept up.
