Hey there guys! After today’s fiasco, I decided that we need some moderators that aren’t me or Ada. If you would like to be a moderator, please reply to this post with why you think you would be a good mod, and any previous social medias that I can check out just to make sure you’re not a troll (reddit is the most useful but twitter/mastodon/whatever works too).
I’m high as balls right now so I’ll respond to these messages tomorrow

Well I’m glad this is happening I was just trying to reply to your previous post but it turned out it was removed in the process of me writing the comment. The short of it was that a community of almost 10k needs more than one mod, because while there are three mod accounts two are you and the third is a dead account. Please do your absolute best when deciding who to give moderation control over 196 as I don’t doubt there will almost certainly be bad actors who try to get mod so they can sabotage this place, it sure wouldn’t be the first time this community has been targeted.
Yeah totally. I’ve needed more moderators for a while now, but I’ve been really worried about bad actors. I know what might seem drastic to some to ask for alternate socials and shit but seriously I feel like its more than necessary at this point
To me it feels like you take this seriously and are invested in the community, which I love to see. I hope it gets easier with new helping hands and I really like this instance, thank you for your amazing work
Heyo, figured I’d try to apply here.
I hate bigots, tankies, and nazis. I like shitposts, not posts that are shit.
I currently am co-admin of a discord server of 200+ people (but like 30 or so that are active every day), and was elected when the admin left.
Here’s my personal mastodon page for reference: https://todon.eu/@queue
Probably not going to be chosen, but I wanna help.
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. Also, no making other people mods.
Hey there, social worker from germany here, working in sexual paedagogics, willing to give some time to weed through the hate.
No mod experience, no reddit poweruser, but from my profile should be clear that i am no troll/asshole
Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Mycologist921
If you have more questions i am happy to answer them
Best wishes

Also, no making other people mods.
Just a heads up, once a mod marks a report as resolved, the admins won’t see it, so if someone needs to be banned from the whole instance, make sure you drop me a DM
Heloo, I am very normal and can be trusted with power.
I’ll volunteer as tribute. I might be good moderator because I am a nearly professional lurker and strongly prefer my social networks supportive and funny and not overrun with bad. My Reddit account is u/buttercup614 for background check purposes.
I am stubborn enough to put my foot down with shills and bigots from other instances, so I’d be happy to help out with yours.
Hey, I’d be happy to mod. I have a decent amount of free time and I have had some experience moderating in the past, including one small subreddit where I had to deal with regular brigading and trolls.
Reddit: u/piraka-the-plant (also u/pirakaplant but I deleted that account after Reddit decided I was being very mean to a certain human trafficker and permanently suspended it)
I’ll volunteer, I don’t have a ton of free time but it would be enough to help here. I’d say I’ve been pretty active on Lemmy Blahaj, so I know how it works around here and I was also very active on 196, it helped me realize I was trans myself. I mod a discord server with a little over 1,000 members so I could probably do pretty well modding here.
I’ve never modded. I don’t have a extensive post history that you can check out. But I sure as heck wouldn’t let bigotry flood my favorite shitposting sub.
I am Lorelai, I created this sublemmy :) @Lorelai@tech.lgbt
I would love to assist in any way but I’m not sure I can from another server
You can, moderator reports are handled through the Modlog which is federated. I’m speaking from experience, I’ve moderated !asklemmy@lemmy.world from two instances at this point, neither of which were lemmy.world.
In that case, I’d like to volunteer. I‘d like to contribute to the fediverse in a way that makes a difference. I want to see these communities grow. I spent 12 years (nearly half my life) on Reddit and never did much. I hope 12 years from now Lemmy will have grown in a way that’s healthy.
I’d like to be a mod for this community. In terms of why I’m a good fit, I really like the c/196 community and the positivity with which it shitposts, and I will apply full discretion to remove nazis, trolls, bigots, and other troublemakers from our community. In terms of social media, I’m active with this account, I have activity on my alt @TheSaneWriter@lemm.ee, and my Reddit username from before I migrated over is u/TheSaneWriter. Though I wasn’t the most active user, I still participated here and there over the few years I spent on Reddit.
I’m magmaus3 (obviously), also available at @magmaus3@mk.absturztau.be and on reddit as u/magmaus3.
I don’t have a lot of experience in moderation, but I’ll be a responsible person for the job :3
I know I’m late and you’ve probably picked up enough many people already. Either way, here’s my Linktree. Instagram, which I use “the most” bcs that’s where my friends are, is at the bottom.
I avoid social media for the most part, but I’ve taken to 196 and Lemmy a lot.
Everything I’ve seen from the mods makes me think we’d agree on pretty much everything. I’d love to help where I can and meet cool new people in the process.
Whether or not I’m even needed I can at least use the fact I have your attention to thank you for upkeeping one of the best & funniest queer-friendly spaces I’ve found. Much love :)
