Would any of you like to be a mod? With the way things are going, we’re looking for equal numbers lemm.ee and lemmy.world mods. If you’d like to apply, tell us about yourself below, let it flow.
Hi. I’m a dude who could take on this task as a spare if needed. (Although there are probably others who are more deserving)
Relevant characteristics:
- superadmin for a game with 50k active users daily. Both forum and ingame.
- I’m an old fart, so I have plenty of experience running IRC channels and servers. I like to think that’s relevant.
- No HR cases with my name on them.
- Fond of chitchat about nothing and everything.
- I try to retain a politically neutral stance, despite being far from neutral in my political leanings. I’m aware of my biases, and try not to let them affect my decision making.

Consider yourself in
Hi. I’m a casual Lemmy user, and currently serve as a mod for a few sports-based communities:
!miamihurricanes@fanaticus.social
None of those require much work, thankfully.
Happy to help out over here, as well. This is one of my favorite Lemmy communities, and appreciate the discussion that takes place here.
Thanks, it’s always nice to hear. If you were a mod, what would be the preferred way to refer to you (some ways of reference are more casual than others)? Also, what is your nationality (note this question often helps with timing/linguistics)?
I just want to make sure I understand, you mean what can you call me? I’m happy to provide my real first name. That’s probably simplest.
If you mean how can you contact me, I respond quickly to messages and mentions. But can also give my email or join a preferred chat group.
And as for nationality, I’m based in the US, on the east coast.
I just want to make sure I understand, you mean what can you call me?
That, yes. Or something else, if you want to go by something else. For example, my screen name says to call me Leni, it’s short for my full name.
That’s fair. People IRL call me Rob.
Thank you for volunteering! We’ll discuss and let you know in the coming days
Sounds good. And no hard feelings if you decide to go in another direction!
Do you have to have any technical knowledge to mod?
As in software? Nope, just a dedication to keeping the community together.
Thank you for the post!
Adding some details in case people are wondering: the workload is quite low, most of the community is polite and respectful. There are a few reports from time to time, you can have a look at the modlog to see the frequency
Hey can i ask how the fellow mods are ?
EDIT: I misread and didn’t underatand you only wanted mods from .world and lemm.ee so never mind . If you want from other instances tho you can hit me up.
All people can apply. The two instances were specifically mentioned because they’re the best for compatibility.
Also i won’t be on matrix or any other platform but you can expect me here 24*7
EDIT : Sorry my bad wrong place
As opposed to talking it out (since this is casual conversation; what’s even the context)? This is one of the reasons many people look down on Reddit (where it is way too easy), we would appreciate if you didn’t give the TOS a harder time than it already might have. Fortunately I’m the kind of person who advocates against permabans.
Nice answer
Sorry i thought you banned me . Tge context is some guy/gal accused me of being a troll and having multiple accounts and that is all that took mods to ban me like no questions asked or proofs given . I told them i only had another alt and it was on my bio and i had done nothing a troll would do on both of them but they couldn’t care less and after that i kinda went nuts and became a troll so i guess a self fullfilling prophecy.
There seems to be a lot of that recently. I don’t tend to conflate what many might call alt identities, in fact what could be called my code advocates against that. If you mean to imply you were banned from another community before then, we cannot reverse that, but we can promise you we’re not as hasty. If you promise to have patience with us, all can be well and your normal self can be encouraged.
