Not sure how many mods you're looking to add but I'd like to help out. I'm a speech/debate coach for elementary through college level competors so while I don't have moderating experience online I perform very similar duties on my day-to-day jobs... You would not believe the shit that comes out of the mouths of 9y/o children.... Before migrating over to federated systems, on reddit I was u/AudioBoss. I'm a dirty trans commie (they/them); I don't fuck with tankies, fascists, TERFs, etc. I got halfway through a masters program in human communication with an emphasis on critical/cultural studies (studies of activism, oppressive systems, meta-studies of Academia, etc) before dropping out to raise a kid coming in January.
I work with kids so I have a ton of viable experience towards moderating you all /j
Questions: how much time would you expect each mod to dedicate each day or week? How often (if ever) would the mods discuss the community?
Oh kickass In terms of time commitment, it's really just logging on whenever you feel like it and checking what's in the mod panel. Usually it's one or two things but every now and then there will be some troll inflection or whatever so having more moderators to nip stuff like that in the bud is useful. Anyways here's the copypasta: Welcome aboard! Here’s the rules: join the discord link I sent you via DM. If you feel someone deserves to be banned please send their username/a screenshot of them to the discord, along with why they need to be banned i.e. image of their comment reason:transphobia. Then you can go ahead and ban them. If I end up feeling like it’s not actually a bannable offense I’ll go in and restore them to the community. Removing content does not need to be run by me. Also, no making other people mods.
Sh.itjust.works doesn't just work. Here's my new account.
