Hello World,
Due to our pace of growth, our platform ended up with thousands of communities created by you, our dear users. While we are still appreciative of every community effort, we decided we need to be able to better assist and publicize them. To assist with this effort, we now have two community team positions available:
- The Community Engagement Team: This team will work with community moderators and find ways to increase their engagement, provide them with easy access to logo and banner options, and communicate with you better to assure transparency as needed. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
- The Community Management Team: This team will be responsible of making sure communities have active moderators, assuring compliance in Lemmy.World communities, and keeping track of community moderation logs in order to assure they are moderated in good health. Team capacity: 6 new members expected
Both of these teams will be working closely with the admin team, and are expected to become ways for our users to have enhanced control of their instance. Let’s build something great together!
How to apply
All applications must include the following information:
- Your Lemmy.World registered username, and your reason to apply
- The position you are interested in
- Your time zone, and average availability level
All applications may be sent to @clueless_stoner@lemmy.world or @antik@lemmy.world, or e-mailed to info@lemmy.world
you should clarify if these are volunteer positions or paid, and what level of hours/commitment are expected as such.
This is a volunteer platform, and as such no one is paid. Applicants may include their availability info and be considered accordingly.
i love you @lwadmin@lemmy.world
I love you too ;)
I thought we had something special together, but now I catch you with a clueless stoner
😿
You think people are paid to do this?
Can we make it a site wide policy to NOT have supermods?
I’ve already identified a couple of users who are accumulating mod positions like MTG cards, and some are the most toxic and intentionally astringent users who are constantly involved in all the drama.
How would you deal with one person with multiple accounts? I don’t know how youd deal with the round about way of being a supermod
I also feel supermods and toxic mods are two different things that should be treated as such. Both can pose problems, but they do not have to go hand in hand.
They’re different problems. But together they compound to something much worse. It basically invalidates moderation tools in place.
Can’t second this enough
This will be addressed soon.
I agree with this opinion. at least put more well respected people of the @lemmy.world community in charge could have a vote on it as well that way everyone has a say in the final outcome
After modding for over 15 years at the other place, it has strongly solidified my opinion that the only people that want to be mods are broken people that love the surge of power they get from being a water-cooler dictator. Modding should be a job nobody actively wants, and when they do it they do it with reservations, reluctance and a tinge of resentment.
100% agreed. A bad mod is a dictator trying to rule over others. A good mod is more a janitor, someone who works in the background to keep the place clean for others to enjoy, and doesn’t expect to be worshipped.
How many hours a week would you expect a member to contribute?
I would say a minimum of 10 hours/week is pretty fair. As it is a volunteer position, we would still be very understanding if you can’t always make the time.
🙌
If someone’s primary account is on another instance, can they still help out?
ex. I have a lemmy.world account for cross instance moderation, but I don’t really have to use most of the time
Since it’s more focused on Lemmy World communities it would make sense to have some affinity with the instance so a local account would be preferred.
Makes sense :)
Applied! Hoping I can help. :D EDIT: Nope. :(
Ok
We kindly rejected your offer to join after having a look at your modlog and now you want to bring it to the public. I invite everyone to have a look at the modlog for this user. This is hardly “arguing”.
Rightfully rejected imo. This is exactly the kind of comments that made Reddit the toxic environment it is in so many subs nowadays.
Definitely, and remember to always report toxic content both in feddit.nl and lemmy.world 🙂
No, it was due to people like you
Fine with me.
I usually tell reporters to down-vote and scroll. Not clear how downvote effects lists but I only remove obvious spam or off topic. Created a few communities when this place was a ghost-town and 2 days later the reddit hordes arrived. smh. No way I’m screening every post now. up/down votes should count for something. Currently if someone reports a post, I check up/down votes to see what community thinks. Maybe give an option to sort by up votes. Or maybe there is already a way. Volunteer mods only have to ask and have a profile history. I’m old and don’t need this shit.
Nice
I would like to apply please. For the community engagement team
Nope
For all of those who are down voting the nope, read the instructions on how to apply in the post. You all failed that trick test teachers handed out in grade school, where if you actually read the instructions, it tells you to put your name on the paper and put down your pencil without trying to answer any of the questions on the test, because the test is “do you pay attention to shit” not “do you know the answers”.
The comment still do not seem to be in good faith.
I got a laugh out of it!
And I’m glad it worked that way! :)
I just emailed you !!
Cheers!
thanks
For some reason this gives me corporate vibes
Ages ago on reddit I got banned from r/justiceserved for merely commenting on r/conservative this was on a post about tianmemen square they had a autobot set up which’ll automatically check wherever someone subscribes comments or posts prehaps it’ll be worth considering maybe trying do moderation differently on lemmy to reddit is
