Thats why we are looking for new moderators. To apply as mod, reply below indicating what would make you a good moderator for this community, and mention any previous mod experience you have. You should be registered on lemmy.ml and have previous posting history.

Why the lemmy.ml requirement?

[-] poVoq@slrpnk.net 22 points 7 months ago

Lots of bugs in federated moderation...

[-] nutomic@lemmy.ml 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

This, particularly reports are not fully federated.

Didn't know that. I'm actually the sole moderator of a community I made on lemmy.ml, so that's good to know. I do still have my old account on lemmy.ml as a moderator too tho.

I just opened an issue about it: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4744

I am willing to moderate. I have no moderation experience. My current account is on lemmy.world but I will create new account on lemmy.ml for this purpose. Since the new account will not have any history, hence I am posting from this account so you can see my history. If you think I am perfect for this role please contact me and I will create a new account on lemmy.ml.

Happy to chip in, but not as sole mod. I ressurected the DeGoogled community on lemmy.ml and overseeing it since then.

[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

Can you link me to that community? I searched for degoogled and came up dry.

!degoogle@lemmy.ml

Thanks!

Alright Ive added @kevincox@lemmy.ml, @CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml and @Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml as mods and removed the inactive ones.

I'll throw my hat in. I've moderated multiple Discord communities before and currently. I've also moderated forums back in the day.

I am passionate about FOSS and the community around it. I've been a Linux user for 4+ years now and work in IT, so I have a good handle on the current trends in tech.

Thanks for your consideration!
