One new moderator will be added to the team.

Please keep in mind that this team moderates several communities together, and so we would need a little bit more of your time than the average Lemmy community.

Volunteers are welcome to message me or comment on this post with your time zone & availability. Cheers! :)

    I’d be interested. I have experience moderating Reddit communities (I’m /u/SirEDCaLot over there too).

    I’m Eastern time. But I can’t commit to any specific amount of availability for two reasons. 1. My real life is pretty hectic and many days I literally have no time at all to participate let alone moderate, and 2. Lemmy/Reddit for me is a hobby, not a job, and I have no desire to change that. So my availability is ‘when I have time and feel like doing it’. Sometimes that will mean I disappear for days, sometimes that means I’m on for multiple hours per day.

    What I will say though- is that whatever I do have time to do, I will do well. I believe in treating users with respect, even when they break seemingly simple rules. I’ve found that if you don’t assume bad faith and treat people with respect, even when they appear to be idiots, more often than not they return the gesture.
    I also believe that moderators are more like janitors than gods. So I’m not interested in ‘power’.

      Thanks for your input! To be able to moderate this community on our instance, you’d need to be on our instance, haha. If you ever feel like you could help or have the (mostly) consistent time in the future, then feel free to reach out.
